May 9 - August 23, 2026
Opening Reception: May 9 at noon
Black Box Warnings features the undergraduate thesis works of students
Izzy Martinez and Natalie Rohman, and their mentors, UMA alumni artists
Aylah Ireland (‘17) and Tanya Russell (‘11).
The exhibition’s title addresses a range of ominous traces. Black box warnings are the pharmaceutical industry name for symptom warnings printed on prescription medication; the “black box” of an airplane preserves a record of disaster; and the term can serve as a shorthand for an unknowable mechanism operating in darkness. The four artists included in the exhibition each deal with the unknown, suspenseful, mysterious, recoverable and irrecoverable memory, and the limits of seeing.
The Danforth Gallery at UMA
Named after a renowned artist and former faculty member at the University of Maine at Augusta,

and other events, the gallery is a site for faculty, students, alumni and community members
to engage with ideas, forms, and conversations in art.
