Social Archives Gallery Show Reception
Friday, December 4th | 3-5
Honors Lounge Gallery
As the semester comes to a close, join us in the Honors Lounge for art viewing and conversation this Friday. Light bites will be served.
From smartphones to LED billboards, technology is constantly feeding us visual stimulation that is practically unavoidable. Young artists are also being inundated with hundreds of images from art history, contemporary art magazines, and the walls of art school. How do these makers deal with the influx of imagery and parcel out what is important to their own work? How do these decisions play into the development of their self and their work? Social Archives explores these questions by asking students to document the social, political, and physical aspects of the world around them with their own unique vision.
