Show curated by Selena Jones & Ashley Szczesiak
(both SAIC Grads)
Their statement for the show:
The idea for this show emerged from our joint acknowledgment of the feeling that we, too, operate simultaneously “within and without” of larger social, theoretical, and artistic frameworks: While we work within the art world as members of the artistic community, we collectively band together to work outside/without of certain normative social structures to challenge the static, status quo prescription for life and encourage an alternative vision, wherein life is valued as a living force, forever “coming into being.”
