poster for “Governing Bodies” Exhibition

This event has ended.

The Sheila C. Johnson Design Center presents “Governing Bodies” a collaborative group show that tests democratic mechanisms in creative practice.

This exhibition examines democracy as it shaped two groups and their artistic practices over the course of a five month collaboration. Inspired by the United States’ 2016 national election, “Governing Bodies” began as a process to enhance community and to dissect democratic decision making. Over nine weeks, the artists in the exhibition met weekly to make work using a variety of voting processes, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of collective consensus.

“Governing Bodies” features work from current Parsons MFA Photo students Zeshan Ahmed, Maryanne Braine,
Siho Chang, Amanda Field, Shannon Finnell, Isadora Frost, Hannah Harley, María del Mar Hernández Gil de Lamadrid, Huang Guaier + Wang Runzhong, Mónika Izing, Jenna Petrone, Ariana Sarwari, and Richard Wade with curation lead by Kayla Seifert (MA History of Design and Curatorial Practice).
