"U Up?" - A Group Art Show
(Creative Direction, Graphic Design)
In March of 2020, I curated an art show at KO Studio Gallery.
“U Up?” examines how written communication plays a role in our relationships, exhibits honest depictions of casual hookup culture, and documents the current state of text messaging as a form of human interaction.
This exhibition seeks to disarm the seemingly-innocent inquiry “U up?”, typically sent in context of casual sex, and rather, use it to sum up what messaging looks like in the 21st century. Works in this exhibition present viewers with ways to examine their own relationship, and relationships, using messaging shorthand.
