liminal bodies and space | Linh Dao & Amanda Stojanov - Reese Bullen Gallery
An interactive exhibition exploring the complex perceptions and experience of the female body, agency, and visibility, as a carrier of cultural, digital, and virtual identity. The artists, Linh Dao and Amanda Stojanov, focus on the topics of emigration, immigration, and migration, social and economic inequality, minority representation, and accessibility. They work to highlight identity discourses as pivotal in theorizing the development and implementation of digital spaces that continues to defy political, social, and/or cultural convention. Featuring works in Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and video projections.

liminal bodies and space
liminal bodies and space showcases two artist's distinct but echoed personal experiences as newcomers to the U.S., illuminating the resulting transformation of their identities, in the physical, and virtual worlds. Featuring the creative work of new media artists Linh Dao and Amanda Stojanov, this exhibition emerges as a response to an elusive sense of belonging in America as others or foreigners. Their works explore the ongoing tension and fluidity within both personal and societal concepts of identity. They share their experience of femme and otherwise marked bodies as they adjust to the process of assimilation and the erosion of their languages, history, and cultures. New technologies are used in conjunction with expressive typography to interrogate marginalized realities, including augmented reality, virtual reality, projections, performance, and interactive experiences.
In this exhibition, two pieces feature the works of dear friends and collaborators of the principal artists and designers. Living Disruption is a collaboration with Suzan Globus. Amorphous includes significant contributions from Elise Coatney ('24) and Chenin Rowe (4th year).
