Milliken Gallery Exhibition Explores Disorder of Man-Made Spaces

Opening on September 24th, the Milliken Art Gallery at Converse College will host Disordered Functions, an exhibition by Shannon Rae Lindsey of large-scale site-specific installations that respond to and expose elements of the gallery space.  Through installation, sculpture, and drawing, Lindsey’s work embodies notions of disorder through man-made construction materials that challenge their conventional context, setting, and utility.  The exhibition will be available to view through October 22.

On Thursday, October 1st at 6:00 pm in the Milliken Art Gallery, a Gallery Talk with Artist Shannon Rae Lindsey will include discussions of her career and art process. The Gallery Talk will be followed by the opening reception at 6:30 pm. The exhibit and events are free and open
