Mine/Yours @ Gallery Project

At the interpersonal level Mine Yours looks at real and
artificial barriers people create to separate themselves from others; at the
group level the social symbols groups latch onto to establish their uniqueness;
and at the international level the disputes nations have over territory, water
rights, and air space. The changing relationships between governments and their
citizenry will be explored in the context of growing surveillance in the ages
of terrorism, globalism, and information technology. Finally, human pathologies, resulting from
some of these phenomena will also be explored such as hoarding and various
addictions people develop as they retreat further into real or imagined safe
havens. Mine/Yours invites participating artists to comment visually on these
social phenomena, and their varied impacts and behavioral adaptations.

| The piece installed at the Gallery Project |
The piece by Tom McMillen-Oakley and Isaac is an exploration
of gender/gender identity and sexuality.
This is the first time that McMillen-Oakley and Isaac have collaborated,
and this connection has produced an evocative and compelling piece.
