Masks are required.Students in Megan Euker’s Intro to Designed Objects classes (Fall 2019 - Fall 2020) at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago created works in response to a single word prompt: “Bodies.” Using the collections at the International Museum of Surgical Science for inspiration, students began identifying medical or bodily constraints that could be alleviated through a specifically designed assistive device. Through a process of in-depth research and prototype testing, students created preliminary designs intended to increase accessibility, promote healthy behaviors, create comfort and improve safety. After consulting with medical professionals and undergoing critiques, they modified their ideas and remade their objects at full scale.These designed objects create a social impact by making it easier for all kinds of bodies to move through the world. They also spark new questions: what mental and physical constraints do our bodies place on us all? What are the best uses of designed objects in the fields of health, medicine, and surgery? And how do you design your own environment to fit your day-to-day needs? Works in this exhibition explore these fundamental ideas of ability and the body.Featuring work by:Anushka AgarwalRan Brian BiDiamonde DiggsRazana DjanUma KamatSunhyung KimCassie KwonHei King LaiNoah TaylorYunkai Kerry XuCurated by <a href="https://meganeuker.com/home.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Megan Euker</a>Megan Euker is the Project Manager at Errant Gene Therapeutics/San Rocco Therapeutics and is based in Tampa, Florida.Euker has been represented by Linda Warren Projects in Chicago since 2008 and featured in The International Museum of Surgical Science; Matthew Rachman Gallery, Chicago; The University Club of Chicago; Chautauqua School of Art, New York; Prince Street Gallery, New York; The Storefront Project, New York; Togonon Gallery, San Francisco; College of DuPage, Illinois; Beverly Arts Center, Chicago; and Western Exhibitions, Chicago and other prestigious venues.Image and Text courtesy of the curator.
