Nancy Grace Horton is a photography-based artist who embraces both analog and digital techniques to create bold narrative fragments informed by her background in photojournalism. Her MrMrs Series taps into her interest in gender and culture and visually explores men who dress as women. This project has evolved into a collaborative exhibition involving the university community from October 1 - January 6 with continued opportunities for campus participation throughout the installation. The community is being integrated into this site-specific installation by participating in creative paper doll making inspired by cultural dress codes and personal identity; sharing gender-related stories via video and written as well as participating in photographic portraits for the gallery show.FMI | cgurley@une.edu

Being Group 1

I hope you can take a minute to enjoy this memory we had together, and just a funny video on it's own. Got to love those lazy susans! I remember that evening to be quite a special one and hope we can repeat it each semester. Those of you who did not make it, we missed you and by the size of this table you can see we had plenty of room and food to share!! The idea came to me to do an art swap when we return in June. I will send out a reminder, if you are interested bring a small piece of art, 8x10 or under, place it in a sealed envelope, then we will do a blind draw. It will not take long and it will be a nice way to start a collection. (hit play even though it is black!!)
