Antioch College's Herndon Gallery will kick off the exhibition of artist Zachary Cahill's The Orphanage Project with an opening reception featuring an artist talk with Cahill. Employing the device of the “what if” scenario, The Orphanage Project imagines a world in which the USSA is possible: not a watered-down mèlange of US and Soviet identities, but something new. Drawing on the imagery of the bear, the project playfully and pointedly asks hard questions pertaining to ideology.
