“I’ll Be It” features work from local contemporary artists Jade
Abner, Michael Muelhaupt, Rachael Starbuck, and Frank Wick. Ranging in media and approach, each of these artists challenges how we perceive ourselves and others and how we perceive ourselves in relationship to others. By abstracting figurative representation, they create bodily fictions, deconstructing our self-awareness with the materiality of tangible objects.
