My God, You Are So Ugly!!

In Amy Sillman’s Essay “Shit Happens, Notes on Awkwardness”, she describes the process of creating akin to looking down at your own self and reflecting on its undesirableness. She writes, “Like the body, you look down at your creation and think, ‘My god, you are ugly’.”

Artists Will Zeng, Lily Wai Brennan, and Ellen O’Shea’s work reflects parallel moments of unease. Their work inhabits these visceral moments together in a shared space, both insulting and confiding in being deemed ‘ugly’”.

LANDSCAPE MAKERS

A maker-driven art + design exhibition featuring UOLA MLA and BLA collaborations. The landscape-inspired work explores cultural narratives of PNW forests through interior installation and interdisciplinary environmental-communication. The collective work is a snapshot of a longer ongoing creative project currently in development with the Fuller Initiative for Productive Landscapes, the Center for Art Research, and the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest.

 

Everybody’s Got a Hungry Heart

In How Art Can Be Thought: A Handbook for Change Allan deSouza writes that “even under the regimes of constraint (and there are never not such regimes), desire is unruly, irrepressible, excessive, bursting into visibility often through codes of gesture, metaphor, insinuation, association; the glance askew, the tilted head, the stretched foot, the curled foot.” The works included in Everybody’s Got a Hungry Heart reject the notion of the guilty pleasure. They are love letters, power ballads— gushing, blushing, overflowing. These are the codes and codexes of hunger, abundance, lust, and excess that elude the grasp of legal, moral, and economic structures.

Irene.House

“Irene.House” is a collaboration between Kevin Yatsu and Irene June. This project examines Irene’s relationship to ancestry, home-making and play through the lenses of performance and virtual space. For the LaVerne Krause Gallery exhibition, three short films are interwoven via a simple computer program. This single-channel video is accompanied by two piles of rice that emit a softly churning atmosphere.
