A roundup of ideas and projects from around the Institute

  • Former Civic Engagement Fellow Mary Mattingly’s new exhibition, Night Gardens, was featured in The New Yorker and msn. “Fantasy comes in the saturated artifice of these glamorously lit, nocturnal compositions that have the mythical allure of dioramas at the Natural History Museum,” writes Kendra Wilson.

  • The Strategist featured earrings by Ted Muehling, BID ’75, in its February issue as part of a round-up of cool finds. “You can always spot a Ted Muehling original, whether it’s a rice kernel or a berry made from amethyst, chrysoprase, turquoise, carnelian, citrine, or chalcedony.”

  • Pratt Basketball alumni returned to campus for the annual Alumni Basketball Game and celebrated this year’s honoree, Robert Fuller, BArch ’95, principal at Gensler, who still holds the record for all-time leading scorer.

  • Black Dress II: Homage, curated by Professor of Fashion Design Adrienne Jones and  Rachelle Etienne-Robinson, BFA Fashion Design ’01, was profiled in Vogue and The Cut. “Seeing the garments in living color and witnessing history through artifacts is an overwhelming feeling and a reminder that we’ve always been here and will continue to create despite the unequal playing field—and in the spirit of those who came before us,” writes Scarlett Newman for The Cut. The exhibition is open now at Pratt Manhattan Gallery.

  • Hanna Wuttig, BFA Fine Arts (Printmaking) ’25, and Abdullah Gramish, BFA Fine Arts (Sculpture and Integrated Practices) ’25, were selected for inclusion in the annual National Arts Club student show.

  • Vogue covered the new exhibition A Match Made in Heaven by Jeremy Scott, BFA Fashion Design ’95, and artist Katherine Bernhardt.

  • Adjunct Associate Professor of Fine Arts Fay Ku, MS Art History, Criticism and Theory; MFA Studio Art ’06, was featured in The Utah Review and Uprise Art. “My most amazing teachers were those who saw the student not as a projection of their thoughts but instead were interested in seeing what I was most interested in expressing,” said Ku.

  • Hearts on Fire’s new chief creative officer, Yunjo Lee, who studied painting at Pratt from 1994 to 1998, was featured in Prestige. “Jewelry should be something that makes you feel joyful and confident,” she said, “but also, it has to be a beautiful object too.”
