Description: University of Kansas performance art students will showcase their works at the third annual Fluid Art exhibit held in the Art and Design Gallery on the third floor of the Art and Design Building.

This annual student exhibit was originally created by Roger Shimomura,
professor of art emeritus at KU, and continued until his retirement in
spring 2003. So Yeon Park, assistant professor of art in expanded
media, joined the KU art faculty in fall 2004 and assumed responsibility
for the exhibit. Fluid Art offers an opportunity for the greater KU and
Lawrence community to experience emerging art forms such as performance art and time-based media.

Since Park joined as a faculty member, she has continued the tradition
of presenting diverse students' performance works in the areas of body
art, performed photography, improvisation, interactivity, re-enactment,
installation, video and public art. She and her students renamed the
show Fluid Art because it represents the fluidity of the performance art
practice in contemporary art.

Because expanded media is a developing major in the Department of Art,
Park actively searches for various ways to showcase student artists and
to celebrate their artworks with the public. She feels the annual Fluid
Art exhibit is one effective way for the community to experience student
work. Park also believes this exhibit is an educational opportunity to
foster a collaborative learning and teaching environment for her
students and herself.

KU students participating in the 2006 Fluid Art event are undergraduates
Louis Brahim Anajjar, Jonathan Blum, Shelagh Jessop, Christopher Kramer, Cassandra Peters, Michael Pruitt, Megan Solomon and Luke Anderson. Graduate student Sarah Kephart will also participate.

There is an opening performance and reception in the Art and Design
Gallery on Wednesday, December 6 at 7:00 pm. The exhibit runs from
December 4-7. All events are free and open to the public.
