Annie See-On Shaw, Tulane University, Feb 2nd

You are invited to a presentation by artist Annie See-On Shaw on Monday, Feb. 2 in Stone Auditorium at 6:30pm.

Shaw creates environments, situations, videos, and installations of everyday objects. Her work often deals with disparities among commercial, sentimental, aesthetic and personal notions of value.

Shaw is known for organizing the five-year project series "Leefahsalung at the New China Town Barber Shop" located in what had been a community business for more than sixty years in Los Angeles' Chinatown. The series focused on works where process, collaboration, and public participation were paramount. Most recently, for her solo exhibition at Monte Vista, Los Angeles, she used the social mechanisms of the Mega Millions Lottery to explore how money and class are manifested geographically in Los Angeles and New York.
