| Mark Curran's photographs and videos examine the aesthetics of high-tech "clean room" industry and simultaneously probe the cascading effects of globalization and economic swings in a Hewlett-Packard plant in Ireland. Acutely calibrated to the market, the factory takes in and lays off workers on a need basis. The resulting instability in personal lives is made visible in Curran's pristine yet emotionally charged images: an inside view of the so-called Celtic Tiger. |

| Most museums remove items from their collections from time to time, a process known as deaccessioning. As a rule it is done discreetly, yet the process is fascinating and the issues it raises are profound: how is quality determined? are canons of taste immutable? This exhibition spotlights the deaccessioning of objects from DePaul's collection, inviting scholars from art history, philosophy, and anthropology—and visitors—to weigh in on the works of art and their fate. |
