UTILE TIES, exhibition by Željka Blakšić AKA Gita Blak and Lily Moebes for the Mollie Ruprecht Fellowship at University of Vermont. “Utile Ties” refers to the artists’ shared interest in the radical potential of usefulness and the utilitarian. Their work situates everyday objects and processes within an embodied idea of usefulness, particularly a gendered, working body, with an immediacy that suggests a need to dismantle conventional forms as well as an optimism in their undoing.
“Utile Ties” will be on display at the Francis Colburn Gallery from March 19th.
Please join us for an artist talk and opening reception at 6PM on Wednesday March 20th.
