STILL REMAINS:
THE IMMORTAL CYCLE OF AN ICON, JACQUELINE KENNEDY ONASSIS


Exhibition

A celebration of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' birth as an icon through the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Still Remains examines the iconography of November 22nd, 1963 through the cycle of life/death/birth-- preserving the moment when Jackie and her pink suit 'shaped the shift' in definitive American, gender and fashion culture.

This exhibition is an extension and conclusion to Still Remains, my senior thesis project at the Minneapolis College of Art + Design. The architecture of this installation was again, an inverted response to the chapter progression of the catalog-- each end referencing the prologue and epilogue of a book-- symbolizing "life" and "death," while the body bag represents "birth," as well as the "Shaping the Shift" chapter of the catalog.
