Becoming Slovenian Performance/Artist Residency
Shoshanna Utchenik, an American married to a Slovene, began assembling a subjective guide to her own assimilation. She moved her studio to the KAPSULA gallery for the duration of the exhibition, to ask the public:
What must I do to become Slovenian?
Viewers were invited to bring instructive objects as well as ideas to the ongoing performance.

Notes to Nonself Art Installation
2010
•Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago
•Herron Galleries, Herron School of Art and Design, Indianapolis
•KAPSULA gallery, Ljublana Slovenia
Collaborators Diane Christiansen and Shoshanna Utchenik expanded the small gallery into a fantastical landscape, metaphoric for the activity of the mind. Viewers were invited into a meditative garden, collaged with notes and drawings from the transatlantic correspondence between two artists navigating motherhood, marriage, careers, mortality and spirituality. Also on view was animation by Christiansen, Shelly Dodson and Matt Marsden, with sound by Steve Dawson.
