Fall Exhibition | Like everything alive that we try to hold forever

Thursday, July 27th, 2023
Larry Achiampong & David Blandy Diane Borsato Stephanie Dinkins Bridget Moser Sondra Perry Miya Turnbull Like everything alive that we try to hold forever brings together seven artists whose works, in a broad sense, reflect ways that our human bodies exist in relation to non-human objects and the complex, interconnected ways that these objects, through their systemic collection, consumption, and contextualization, impact our understanding of self and others. Through a constellation of approaches, the works here address psychosocial relationships to materiality and craft; issues of embedded identity, likeness, and self-authorship; biases and harms embedded within science, technology, and museological collections that are often cloaked under the guise of logical neutrality; and objects or avatars that allow us to access the limits of human experience, push against it, or gesture toward a transhuman future.
