Comparative Studies
Curated by Katie Holden
Opening: February 28th, 2015
irl///onlineonly is a group show curated by Katie Holden featuring works by Portland State University's current MFA candidates.
In conjunction with showing each artist's work, Holden has approached the artists to be individually interviewed. Through a series of books the cohort voiced their opinions on the effects or non-effects digital life has on their art practices. These interviews act as a preface to a printed archive of their internet postings from the last 3 months.
With a curious and equally playful attitude, Holden asks the artists to consider the question, "What is real life?" as well as how they feel about the now ubiquitous acronym in relation to exhibiting and sharing their work.
Participating MFA candidates: Jea Alford, Kensey Anderson, Sarah-Jasmine Calvetti, Chris Freeman, Hyunju Kim, Kyle Lee, Emily Lewis, Pam Minty, and Amanda Wilson.
