The Artists
Enlivened Spaces brings together a dynamic collection of student-created works inspired by Project Atrium at the Museum of Contemporary Art and artist Nari Ward.
Students present a series of collaborative, three-dimensional “exquisite corpse” figures. Built through layered contributions, these surreal forms activate the space, engaging in a silent dialogue with one another and inviting visitors into a shared experience of movement, perception and connection.
Rooted in ideas of communication, miscommunication and connection, this collaborative installation explores how individuals navigate identity within a collective. Each figure reflects fragments of the self – how we stand out, blend in, conceal and seek common ground – while engaging the tension between anonymity and unity. The work considers how one can feel lost in a crowd yet find strength within it.
Drawing inspiration from Ward’s use of materials in Great Greetings, students incorporate reflective silver surfaces reminiscent of emergency blankets. These materials evoke both celebration and survival, while mirrored elements invite viewers to see themselves within the work, underscoring the role of perception and participation in shaping meaning.
These works were developed by students in the Enlivened Spaces course, led by Aisling McDonald, in the Department of Art, Art History and Design at the University of North Florida. It reflects the department’s commitment to experiential learning, collaborative practice and public-facing work.
