Presented By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
KELSEY CONTEMPORARIES: KAYLA ROMBERGER & ALISHA WESSLER
Exhibition Opening
This special exhibition features the multimedia work of two Master of Fine Arts students from the University of Michigan School of Art & Design and Museum Studies Program. The artists explore themes of collection, museological display, and material culture in the context of an archaeological museum. Displayed together, the two artists’ work creates a dynamic dialog between dystopian and utopian views of the relationships people form with objects. Romberger investigates assemblages of items as a response to apocalyptic fear, while Wessler examines the role of collection in dream and memory.
