Absurd Construction

Seburn Snow

Absurd Construction is an exhibition in the guise of an experimental construction site. The installation, created by Dodd MFA candidates Rachel Seburn and Ethan Snow, foregrounds alternative building practices that investigate experimental applications for various materials. Pastel silicone corrugated roofing and plexiglass rebar are offered as possible material uses that might just hold up. Through the minute examination of building practices, Seburn and Snow elucidate a sustained engagement with the process of building that hinges on the ridiculous - can a wall be held up by a foam cushion? Will spray foam work successfully as a supporting beam? In their exploratory research, the artists offer building solutions through imaginative renderings of what could possibly exist in the world. 

Rachel Seburn is a transdisciplinary artist currently working out of Athens, Georgia, USA, where she is an MFA candidate at Lamar Dodd School of Art. Her practice often interacts with neglected urban space, real estate, architecture, demolition, urban planning, autonomy, and the post-internet experience. Media includes sculpture, sound, drawing, video and curatorial. Her work is mainly concentrated outside the gallery as architectural interventions in physical and virtual reality. She is half of the twin art practice Temporary Investments, co-Founder of Coral Plaza Arts Society, and co-Founder of the transient gallery Parking Platform.

Ethan Snow is an interdisciplinary artist and current MFA candidate at the University of Georgia, Athens. He is from San Diego, California, where he received his BA in Studio Arts from San Diego State University.
