Ideas for BFA name

Ok so I have some ideas, let me know if anyone likes any particular one.

"Artistocrats or Artistocracy" I made this one up because it sounds so close to the original word and the idea that innovators and creatives have control.

"Highlight" Literally means to "Small areas on a painting or drawing on which reflected light is the brightest." However, I also found it an appropriate word for a BFA exhibition as this is suppose to be the highlight of our works combined.

"Who?" The simple idea that conveys general curiosity about "who" are these people and what do they do?

"Value" I thought about many questions and concerns we've encountered about art and this was one of them. I also thought in terms of greyscale and how art and people lie within it.

"Manifesto" Not so sure this is appropriate or not, but I thought it was worth putting out there.

"Trompe L´oeil (Tromp´- loy)" -A French term literally meaning "trick the eye." Sometimes also called illusionism. Both playful and intellectually serious, trompe artists toy with spectators' seeing to raise questions about the nature of art and perception.

"Primer" I thought about an artistic term that underlines what our work will be doing within the gallery. The word literally means" An undercoating paint applied to a surface, sealing it, creating a better bond (adhesion)."

"Space" - Also a simple one chosen due to the reason that we don't whole lot of complexity in where we present our work. I also like the territorial nature of the term too.

"Gestalt"- I know it may not necessarily completely apply to us, but perhaps it could apply to the composition of our show within the space. Lit means" A physical, psychological, or symbolic arrangement or pattern of parts so unified as a whole that its properties cannot be derived from a simple summation of its parts."
