The Art History Gallery is showing work by UWM Journalism and Mass Communication graduate student Nicholas Grider through April 5th in its gallery, 154 Mitchell Hall.
The show features works on paper, sound and video installations and photos based on material sourced from the internet or mass media. The show explores the visual anthropology and linguistic construction of illness and disability as it is filtered through mass media.
The material covers everything from treatments of online personality tests and sounds of the rainforest cds to pictures Dustin Hoffman took during the filming of Rain Man.
There will be a gallery talk and short film showing on Wednesday, March 30th at 7:30pm.
