Exhibition Statement as Preserved in the SUGS\/SITE Archives:<\/h3>\n
\n

“Nicholas Zepeda\u2019s exhibition, Is this it, is a show of drawings and paintings that see a new weight to self discovery after achieving his greatest childhood dream: moving into his own apartment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The work sources this newfound freedom as a chance to discover the role of privacy in presenting a marginal identity. Mostly as works on paper, the show searches for answers somewhere between formalist pictorial strategies and post-teen angst.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Program statement from the SUGs\/SITE archive:<\/span><\/p>\n

“<\/span>Join us on March 15th at 6pm for a zoom webinar where Nicholas Zepeda will be presenting on his solo exhibition, Is This It, currently on view at the 280 SITE Gallery.<\/p>\n

The webinar will explore the significance of alternative choices in presentation, and the painful awkwardness of building a thesis on yourself. Nicholas will be combining the artist-talk-format with a video piece, and discussing how these ideas developed in the work on display. The program will conclude with a Q&A.“<\/span><\/p>\n
