Lithium Gallery in the Pilsen neighborhood focuses primarily on exhibitions of time-based and/or durational audio-visual work. In 2019, the gallery director invited a student team from Management Studio to develop an exhibition and public programs. The team created Fractured: Digital Topographies. A topographical survey traditionally accounts for the natural and artificial features of an environmental landscape. The information gathered allows scientists the ability to assess the space for navigation and planned interventions to the area. This one-dimensional reading of a natural landscape does not account for the complex systems in which these interventions can affect socioeconomics, intrapersonal spaces and power dynamics. In Fractured: Digital Topographies, four artists examined these dimensions as spaces where forces of globalization, technology and social conventions engineer an evolving and unfamiliar land. For this project, the Management Studio team developed and managed all aspects of the month-long exhibition, including creating and managing the curatorial concept, design, installation, marketing, and public programs. The team also built a project website portfolio which you can check out HERE to learn more about the artists and the project. |
