Gallery Hours: Wed-Fri 2-7pm, Sat 12-5pm

Opening Reception: Friday, December 1, 5-7pm 

How to Get Away with Plagiarism:

The world has enough words; we do not need more. Rather, we need to rethink the way we use them. Inspired by Kenneth Goldsmith’s book Uncreative Writing, this exhibition focuses on how language is transformed when it is taken out of context and brought into other spheres of life. In doing so, it will explore new aspects of the original work, as well as language itself. By using mediums outside the traditional scope of literature, students present entirely new pieces of art based on the words and forms of others. This exhibition asks the questions: what is original art? How can the re-contextualization of language explore new facets of language? How can different language transformations affect the reader’s interpretation of the words? Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this exhibition asks: what can be considered creative?

International class of students from studies in business, law, medicine, engineering, music, political science, education and film have produced short films for the annual Film Aesthetics’ Film Festival.
