Lie and Smile
The University of Dayton Radial Gallery is excited to present Lie and Smile works by Rana Young opening September 30th and running through October 26th, 2021! Lie and Smile reveals the tension of uncertainty as the artist interrogates the estranged relationship she had with her mother. The artist, Rana Young, produces diaristic constellations employing visual tension, and unstable transition, as projections on the past and future. Through responding to her mother's archive and absence, the artist constructs prosthetic memories to reinterpret her life and embalm her death. UD’s Department of Art and Design also invites you to a public reception September 30th from 5-7pm at Radial Gallery located in Fitz Hall on the second floor.
Regular gallery hours are 9-4pm M-Th and 9-2 Friday.
