It’s Happening

In three weeks I will take up the main art gallery at my school. I will fill it with good vibes and perspectives on life. I would really like for you to come out and participate. It is a relational exhibition about human connection, exploring what it feels like to interact with other people.
At it’s best, it will make you feel like you belong in the space and have entered a gallery that recognizes your presence. You will be invited to step out of your anonymity. I want you to understand that we affect each other and we are real. When we read each other’s words, they are from real people, although they are echoing inside our minds. When you meet someone whose writings you have read and identified with, it can be like the materialization of a fictional character. This experience can be very fascinating and beautiful. It is one of my favorite parts about the Internet.
Relation on the Internet is not overtly expressed in the pieces in this exhibition, although I had thought of creating pieces directly addressing it at one point. If you come, I would love for you to think about this perspective while in the space.
I will be documenting the process of the show here on ladyparts. Check back for updates, if you are interested.
