It\u2019s Not Me, It\u2019s You<\/strong><\/em> is a group show of mixed media works by Fine Arts students at Washington State University, Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The works exist independently of any meaning on the part of the artist, but invite the viewers to respond. A dichotomy exists and proposes a contemporary \u201cpurpose\u201d of art. What is art supposed to do? Who is art for? It\u2019s Not Me, It\u2019s You symbolizes the ambiguous interpretations that viewers create when attempting to connect the images or the title of the exhibition. The artist simply provides the art, and the viewer gives it a meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
