Inhabited Message
Inhabited Message is a multi-disciplinary installation with selected works at a cross-section of Juliann Wang’s interdisciplinary practice, which blends inquiries of personal introspection from an individual and omni-perspective that invite the viewer to inhabit work in silent dialog. Through video/projection, sound, and materials-focused sculpture, each work is both interspecific and open in its invitation to pause and consider the constellation of possibilities tied to a moment, a fleeting bubble of beauty and form. Reflecting and recounting in this world, we tell ourselves stories in a vision of communication. The works in this show ask you to reconsider: what is our human life, how do we inhabit the spaces we perceive, and what is community?

SXU Gallery Presents “Inhabited Message”
Saint Xavier University (SXU) will host “Inhabited Message,” the work of Chicago artist Juliann Wang, from now through October 25.
”Art is the deep connection between me and life and has become a companion in individual growth. Through it, I naturally experience shaping myself and returning to my natural being. Through this medium, I explore and share in communication between individuals and the world. Art practice to me is a kind of cultivation, and through the practice, I share the understanding of the beauty of life,” Wang said.
Wang hopes that while her work is housed at SXU, students, faculty, and staff will learn that art can be presented on more than a flat canvas.
”I feel very honored to display my work at SXU. It is a wonderful, vibrant campus that thrives on dialogue with students, faculty, and staff. I hope it is a seed for students to see that art can be a multidimensional practice. I hope to open more opportunities to collaborate across departments in the future to make artistic practice a greater part of academic expression,” Wang said.
The artist’s presentation and reception will be held Wednesday, October 16, at 4 p.m. at the SXU Gallery. ”
