Mimi Jung: An Unfinished Origin ExhibitionMarch 31, 2026 – June 27, 2026Tue-Sat, 10am-4pm, CLOSED Sun, Mon
"Mimi Jung: An Unfinished Origin" brings together recent sculptural works from this Helena, Montana-based artist. The loom has long served as the foundation of her methodical and often labor-intensive process, where the slow creation of each piece allows for deliberate shaping and assessment over time. Using unexpected and unconventional materials like paper and foam as wefts, a variety of non-traditional strings as warps, as well as woven pieces cast in metal, the artist’s work rewards close inspection, asking us to slow down and engage reflectively.
Central to her concerns are the gaps between what we believe we know and what remains unknown, creating space for wonder, contemplation, and connection. Correspondingly, her woven forms are intentionally ambiguous and in a state of change. Their structures invite multiple interpretations appearing near completion, undergoing deconstruction, or suspended between concealment and exposure. Jung relates this fluidity to one’s own sense of evolving self.
“The core component of my work has always been identity and self-preservation,” says the artist. “It’s about how our narratives constantly evolve to fit into a much larger cultural narrative in order to survive.”
LOCATION | The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is located in the Crimson Cube (Wilson Road across from Martin Stadium/CUB) WSU Pullman campus.

Working people across the country and in Thurston, Lewis, and Mason Counties are facing escalating attacks on their livelihoods and their dignity. In response to this assault, the Thurston Lewis Mason Central Labor Council is partnering with the Washington Labor Education and Research Center (WA LERC) to present The South Sound Labor School education program at Evergreen State College on January 31, 2026.
The South Sound Labor School will offer “union curious” workers, rank-and-file union members, union leadership and staff, and members of community organizations the education they need to make our communities stronger and more effective.
Find out more about the South Sound Labor School and how to register at https://www.tlmlabor.org/.
