We're The Song Inside The Tune, Full of Beautiful Mistakes

Submitted by essietee on Mon, 12/12/2011 - 12:11pm

Is beauty actually within the eye of the beholder, or does the mass-production of advertisements and print media affect our perception? This project was created to propose thought and conversation through the viewing of popular advertisements in contrast with images of "real" women identified individuals, political propaganda, stickers, and postcards. How does what we see affect what we think? Do we have a filter when it comes to the absorption of information? What might be viewed as triggering/benign, appropriate/inappropriate?

Viewing Instructions: The images below are intended to be viewed in tandem with the following song; as you peruse, take a minute to listen to the lyrics. Then, replay the YouTube video and view the artist’s interpretation of beauty.

"Beautiful" - Christina Aguliera

The Arc: An Exhibit on Right Relationships

The Arc

Written on the wall, to be seen as the first thing when entering the exhibit:

“Right relationships are human relations in which each (or all) seek, without abandoning themselves, to be attentive and responsive to the needs and emotions of one another, quite apart from considerations of entitlement. There are also several important “negative” markers of right relationships, namely they must be free of systematic oppression, exploitation or manipulation. That is, a relationship is not “right” if participants seek to overbear in power (oppress), to overreach in resources (exploit), or to mislead for selfish advantage (manipulate).” – John A. Humbach1

Narrative is determined not by a desire to narrate but by a desire to exchange. (Roland Barthes, S/Z)
