SUMMARY:Exhibition:Afterthought: Remembering a Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:About the exhibition: \nIn “Half-Built House\,” Brazilian-American artist Laura Taylor grieves the loss of her childhood  friend Tina to COVID. When COVID took Tina’s life\, Taylor started ordering identical versions  of their childhood games and toys on eBay. As she assembled these objects\, Taylor recalled  a memory of climbing with Tina through the skeletal frameworks of unfinished houses in the 1970s. Late at night\, the girls would pick their way through floorless rooms and speculate  about their future inhabitants. In this spirit of imaginative experimentation\, Taylor began  taking apart her eBay acquisitions. Gathering\, breaking\, sawing\, splicing\, painting\, gluing\,  layering\, and reassembling these toys became\, for her\, a way to probe the complicated  nature of a lost friendship and to explore the multidimensional nature of grief. Ultimately\,  Taylor built the framework of an unfinished house to evoke those she once explored with  Tina. Taylor describes the house as a “container for grief.” \n\nSeptember 28 - October 27 \nOpening & Reception: September 28\, 1-3pm \nGalleryDAAS  \n\nAbout this series of events: \nArt & Resistance Fall 2023 Theme Semester Programming \nSponsored by Arts Initiative\, UMMA\, American Culture\, Latina/o Studies\, the Department of Film\,  Television and Media & the Museum Studies Program \nPresented by Charlotte Juergens\, 2nd year Ph.D. student in American Culture \nhttp://bit.ly/UMafterthought
