Lily Cox-Richard: Strike!

Strike diorama 1

Lily Cox-Richard (postdoctoral fellow in the Michigan Society of Fellows and A&D Assistant Professor) exhibits Strike! at 54 Jefferson, home to the Grand Rapids Public Museum from 1940 to 1994, currently repurposed by SiTE:LAB.

Vacant since the museum moved to its newer location, 54 Jefferson was left largely intact. Through her odd and antiquated collection of lightning rods, fulgurites, found objects and ephemera, Lily engages the extant dioramas and showcases of the old Grand Rapids Public Museum, as well as conventions and expectations that usually accompany this kind of exhibition.
