For the past three decades, Lucy Puls has been turning unwanted objects and photos of abandoned domestic environs into insignias of the consumer world. “Lucy Puls: [just you]” encompasses over 40 objects from 1987-2015, with the past decade being a particular focus. During that time, she has refined her interest in found objects and collage and created several new bodies of work. These works, which range from smaller, diorama-like floor sculptures to complex wall pieces, incorporate photographs, stubbed out cigarettes, kitschy souvenirs, home stereo systems, pop culture cast-offs, and household products.

A fully illustrated catalog accompanies the exhibition with an in-depth essay by curator Dena Beard.

“Lucy Puls: [just you]“ also re-connects Puls with her former student Liv Moe, BA 2005 and Verge Center’s director. Read more on how Puls and Moe worked together for this exhibition.
