The SIM Big Show is an opportunity for our major (studio for interelated media) to present our artwork to the rest of the Massart community. We’re allowed an entire evening as well as every space in our department to put together a showcase of everything from sculptural lighting pieces to prostetic masks, from installations, to musical performance, and the list goes on. SIM is made up of extrmely driven and tallented artists, but since our mediums vary so dramatically it’s often difficult to describe our acedemic structure to peers and faculty outside of the major. The Big Show id a perfect opportunity to introduce them to what it is we do.
This year the evenetworks team is using the Big Show as an example of our skillset in planning, producing, and exhibiting artwork in a clean professional manner. Although SIM is often described as sloppy, unorganized, and unprofessional; our education is highly geared towards being professional artist and learning how to present our work in a resectable manner. So the show will serve as our example of the education.
