Room 302: Men Only

April 15–22, 2010
University of Arizona School of Art
Co-curated with Josh Meehan

Room 302: Men Only is a site-specific, guerrilla exhibition executed at the University of Arizona School of Art. It was installed in the men’s bathroom, a metonym for the historically exclusionary art institution as a whole. Drawings of the female nude, by male and female art students, were exhibited to explore the role of women in art institutions.

The exhibition doubled as a work of social practice. Especially during the opening reception, but throughout the weeklong installation, the bathroom was transformed into a place of discussion, critique, and learning for people regardless of gender.

The participating artists were:
Matt DiGianfilippo
Shauncee McCoy
Josh Meehan
Levi Sherman
Kaixi Xu
