Minghui Huang – Hello Strangers

Hello Strangers was a two-day (April 23-24, 2016) exhibition which took place in an airbnb apartment at 1801 S Peoria St., Chicago. It’s a curatorial experiment that looks at how an exhibition forms connections between strangers. Fourteen BFA students from SAIC participated in the exhibition, with their twenty-one works (painting, photograph, installation, print, sculpture, and 3D-printed object) shown to the audience. The exhibition provided a social platform for the artists as well as for the audience.

Minghui Huang is a second-year graduate student in Arts Administration at SAIC. She graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in Economics and Art History. Minghui is interested in contemporary art and its institutions. Her research has focused on non-collecting contemporary art institutions in the US and Europe, with emphasis on how these institutions engage in social critique.
