I guess you could say it's somewhat ironic that I am updating my blog after 5 months with a post about my first exhibition in NYC, which was based on....
"Our trash, memories, and consumption of China"
My roommates/studio art classmates Helena and Amanda as well as myself built six tables which we then stacked to create about a 14 ft tower. Once the frame was built we piled on everything and anything we could get our hands on from souveniers we brought back from Shanghai to certain products we can still find in Chinatown
and have been comsuming since this semester began.
Within the structure was five TV's and three projectors, continueously playing videos that Helena and I had made while living in China.
(some people...aka teachers and students....are saying it is by far the best thing they have seen in the studio art building this semester thus far). It definitely was worth all the time, money, and effort... especially considering the fact that we got to knock the pile over when we de-installed, so much FUN!
