SUGs Shows of February

So! We had 2 shows this month in the Student Union Galleries. Here are a few photos.

The show in the LG space was called Heuretic Housewife. The artist is Ellen Alderman, an MFA student from the VCS department. This show was concerned with the idea of a young woman trying to have it all, while simultaneously defining what "it all" is for herself.

These were garments that Alderman made and wore to fulfill the different duties in her life.

Here's the studio work apron with pins that are like girl scout badges to show accomplishments/goals of the Heuretic Housewife:

These are the text pieces that made up the rest of the show. Each included aspects of the artists own life, such as wedding vows, sewing patters, and visual and critical studies texts.

AND the GX show was titled Gravtitation Pull. This show was also the work of an MFA student. His name is JiHyun Yoon and he is in the Art and Tech department. The work in this show was minimal; there were just 3 works. Two of the pieces were big wood square panel that had hundreds of small squares hinged to them. Both pieces moved by sensors on the floor that when stepped on signal the too-smart-for-me-mechanisms to rotate, in one piece's case, or move forward and back off of the wall, in the other piece's case. The last featured work was a video that used animation and effects to show the square pieces running around in Millineum Park.
