Interpersonal

July 31 – August 31, 2013
Reception / Thursday, August 01, 5–8pm

Interpersonal is a new body of work by Danielle Comeaux, Joana Stillwell, and Ilysia Van Deren in which they use their friendship as artists to explore the nature and limits of interpersonal boundaries. By inserting themselves into each other's normally solitary moments in a series of self-imposed exercises, they investigate and question their individual comfort zones and familiarities with one another. Through videos, objects, and images the resulting work considers themes of perception, assumption, and projection. The viewer is given a playful glimpse into the curious nature of their interactions and the delicate dynamics of private and public amongst friends.

Danielle Comeaux, Joana Stillwell, and Ilysia Van Deren met and graduated from the University of Washington's Photomedia program. The three artists work individually, but have also previously collaborated on a Storefronts Seattle installation, Hullaballoon.
