“Who’s Taylor Swift Anyway?” Exhibition
Fowler Project Space
This event has ended.
This exhibition seeks to explore our relationship to celebrity through embodiments of the pop-fictional character, Taylor Swift. New York Magazine recently named Swift the world’s biggest pop star with her 7 Grammy awards, record breaking music sales, and numerous advertising endorsements and branded products. How has this inescapable singer transformed our cultural landscape, and how might our relatively recent 24/7 obsession with all things celebrity affect how we relate to each other in “the real world”?
Who’s Taylor Swift Anyway? combines painting, video, installation, and performance by 6 talented artists: Elizabeth Grammaticas, Lauren Kaelin, Elisa Kresigner, Torie Leigh, Jennifer McDermott, and Chris Tyler. Each artist grapples in their own way with our relationship to pop culture whether it be by inhabiting the character of Taylor Swift in performance, by commenting on, creating, and disseminating memes, or by testing the boundaries of Copyright Laws and how they relate to artistic expression.
