S(how): ICA Art History Project

About

S(how), 2003

S(how), 2003, installation view, Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania.

Presented in ICA’s Project Space, s(how) is the culmination of a year-long seminar on contemporary art and curating taken by ten art history majors from the University of Pennsylvania. s(how) weaves two distinct themes – visual ephemerality and bodily consumption- around a single group of artworks, reflecting on how art is “made to mean” through the curatorial process. Each artwork simultaneously addresses both themes, while allowing for a wide spectrum of interpretation. With its focus on the interpretive process of the curator(s), this exhibition is a reflection on its own making.

Student curated (Justin Belmont, Nancy Oster etc.) with José Roca, Johanna Plummer, and instructor Jennie Hirsh.
