Reno, Nevada-based artist Katie Lewis visited campus January 13 and 14 to install her work, appearing in the winter term Perlman Teaching Museum exhibition, Lifeloggers: Chronicling the Everyday. Lifelogger’s presents twelve contemporary artists who record and translate mundane aspects of their daily lives into a visual language, resulting in intriguing works of self-expression. The complexity of Lewis’s piece requires that the artist herself “performs” the installation. 201 Days is a network of hundreds of threads strung across hundreds of straight pins, each corresponding to a data point collected everyday from the artist’s body. While the artist’s process is strict and methodical, the final visual product is always unpredictable.
Lifelogger’s runs from Friday, 17 January, 2014 and runs until 12 March, 2014.
