What It Takes
Ellen Mueller

DECEMBER 2016

What It Takes, a solo exhibition by resident,  Ellen Mueller


Show Statement:
The cheerleader is a compelling archetype when considering the dueling nature of being both a leader and conformist. I am interested in what it takes to maintain that duality; to be simultaneously an individual and a team member; being cheerful, on-point, ready, and prepared. What it takes to be a follower, a supporter, a woman, a patriot, a hero, a human; being trustworthy, loyal, fearless, bold, loud, synchronized, and well-practiced. I am asking questions about how this cliché is constructed and what are we left with after deconstruction. Influences include the performative and video works of Yoko Ono, Joan Jonas, and Martha Rosler, as well as glitch aesthetics.
