CASE STUDIES
Proposals for a Vacant Display Case

Description: The members of the curatorial collective Sixpack Projects respond to the existing space at Cerritos College by imagining proposed installations for a unique display case in the entry lobby. Staying true to their roots in curatorial practice and exhibition design, members of the collective build small scale models of the case complete with fictitious installations for the display case. Photographs of the small-scale models are then dramatically enlarged; the final images sit in a space between the true scale of the case and the miniature model. Carefully playing on point of view and shifts in scale the series of images suggests a fictionalized historical archive and/or an impossible future for the existing display case.

Location: FA44 (Vestibule and Hall)

Participating Artists: Alyssa Cordova, Jennifer Frias, Lilia Lamas, Jillian Nakornthap, Jeff Rau, and Heather Richards-Siddons
