Exhibition: Stephanie Syjuco

Images and artist statement from Stephanie Syjuco’s newest exhibition, “notMOMA,” at Washington State University.

February 25-March 22, 2010

“Made over the period of several weeks by myself and and dozens of WSU Pullman art students, this exhibition consists entirely of re-fabricated artworks “curated” from the permanent collection of New York MOMA. A fully handmade show, notMOMA attempts to bridge a gap in students' understandings of "high art" and invites them to access the works via their own do-it-yourself collective vision.

Whether considered copies, translations, or even mis-translations, all resulting works are unique expressions in their own right. As an illicit travelling exhibition “borrowed” from their collection, notMOMA creates a dialogue between WSU’s art department and an inaccessible, perhaps reluctant art institution located on the other side of the country.”
