Artifactuality

Artifactuality looks to bring together disparate personal narratives exploring themes of interpersonal relationships and a psychic split with reality-- real or artificial. While the works visually cohabitate in the space, there is a spectrum of experiences that all serve as personal artifacts interweaving in the background. The exhibition acts as a museum of sorts, documenting, archiving, and presenting the emotional baggage, worries, and relics of queer and femme-lived realities.

For instance, Brett Morgan looks to question and establish the permanence of queer culture and history through fragments of textile, while Jaina Cipriano communicates feminine grief through found object set design. Brett and Jaina both confide and create authentic spaces of emotional expression through their work as an intersectionality begins to emerge within the compelling and challenging lived experiences of each artist present. Artifactuality serves as a space to create fluid communication embodying the artifacts of lives lived, lives lost, and artificial truths.
