MFA Thesis Exhibition, School of the Art Institute of Chicago
The installation period for the show went smoothly. My work features as part of Grand Bazzar, a celebration of diversity, curated by artist and cultural activist Juan Chavez.
My exhibition partner Matheu Bourque is fantastic. We worked together, we were both flexiable and we concentrated on developing a cohesive installation where our practices could communicate with each other, providing an intimate space for the viewer. Our space was not divided up as we developed our installation based on lines of sight. Activating the corners to provide seclusion and intimacy and one of our main concerns. We both also wanted space to walk within to encourage our viewers to spend time within our instalallation.
The mundane, identity, capturing fleeting moments, and the body are all concepts that our work addresses and exlpores. A variety of media is included such as painting, sound installation and digital video installation.
Our work is on display from the 30th of April to the 20th of May, 2011.
