Disk Full: Christine Bruening and Janna Ahrndt Reception

LSU College of Art & Design and LSU School of Art will present Disk Full: Christine Bruening and Janna Ahrndt from September 6 through October 19, 2025, in Glassell Gallery. This two-person exhibition and programming invite you to confront the deluge of our digital lives. In Disk Full, artists, academics, and friends Janna Ahrndt and Christine Bruening reflect on their correspondence, delving into the endless and sometimes absurd world of digital accumulation. From the graveyard of forgotten memes, bookmarked webpages, and countless data fragments we amass, they ask: What drives our compulsion to save, screenshot, and archive a universe we rarely revisit? Through a lens that's both critical and playfully irreverent, this exhibition unpacks the weight of the cloud as our attention spans continue to shrink.

A free, public reception and artist talk is scheduled for Friday, September 19, from 5:30 to 8 p.m., with the artist Q&A at 5:30 p.m. In addition to public programming downtown, visiting artist Janna Ahrndt will give a public lecture on Wednesday, September 17, at 5:00 p.m. in Julian T. White Hall 103 on LSU’s campus.

The “Faculty in Conversation Series” is structured to place LSU faculty voices “in conversation” with visiting artist peers to bring diverse perspectives on lived experiences, creative practices, and building artistic communities.
