Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they’re unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder. As the weather turns and the group is cut off from the mainland, the bloodbath begins and one by one they are brutally murdered in accordance with the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme.

“Dance of the Mythmakers” is the third and final exhibition in the 2023 Summer Alumni Exhibition Series in Pellissippi State Community College’s Bagwell Center for Media and Art Gallery. The show features work by Kevin Krieps and Jana Ghezawi. Krieps earned a certificate for Visual Communication Graphic Design from Pellissippi State in summer 2016, while Ghezawi graduated from Pellissippi State in Spring 2019 with an Associate of Arts in Foreign Language. Both went on to finish their studies at the University of Tennessee.

“Krieps’ and Ghezawi’s work is a combination of traditional pop-influenced painting along with installation,” said Professor Herb Rieth, who curated the exhibit. “There is a strong component of goofy, noodley fun, mystery and, as stated in the title, Mythmaking.”

“Dance of the Mythmakers” will be on display through Friday, Aug. 11, with a closing reception with the artists tentatively planned for 4 p.m. Thursday, July 27.

Gallery hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and all exhibits are free and open to the public.
