(De)Framing Identity & the Body
|
|
i know you are, but what am i? (De)Framing Identity and the Body focuses on the use of the figure, in contemporary art, to explore culture, identity, fluidity, body positivity––and to provide a space for self-authorship, unfiltered through the lens of others. The show’s title uses the familiar playground childhood taunt—one that flips an insult into a retort—as an entry point to the exhibition. Of the title, curator Jared Steffensen says, it functions here “not as a rhetorical question but as a serious inquiry that changes the dynamic of authorship and, ultimately, allows one to define—for themselves—who they are.” i know you are, but what am i? seeks to offer the gallery space as a conduit between artist and audience, privileging first-person perspective and the myriad of experiences that emerge from living in the 21st century.
Participating Artists: Balqis Al Rashed, Fidalis Buehler, Lou Bolin, Jeffery Cheung, Gregg Deal, Monica Kim Garza, Melissa Joseph, Turiya Magadlela, Suchitra Mattai, Shannon McConnell, Ken Gun Min, Hakeem Olayinka, Madrona Redhawk, Dana Robinson, Amber Tutwiler, Gary Vlasic, Jade Walker, Jill Whit, xiouping

Bernard Meyers
Urban Abstracts
|
|
Bernard Meyers uses images collected on walks through urban environments to explore the intersections of photographic realism and abstract expressionism. These divergent worlds intertwine through the reorganization of space, interactions of color, and convergence of reality and imagination. |

John Sproul
Here Between There
|
|
John Sproul’s Here Between There uses the body to explore opposites—protection vs. exposure, public vs. private, acknowledgment vs. disregard, and conscious vs. subconscious—to understand the fallacy of power and the strength found in vulnerability.

Tobias Fike
When I Am Gone
|
|
When I Am Gone is an attempt at coming to terms with the inevitability of death and an examination of the impact loss has on those left behind. Fike’s seemingly playful video asks the question, after death, what parts of us remain?
