Chad Erpelding, professor of drawing and painting in the Department of Art, Design and Visual Studies had a solo exhibition at the Hall Gallery at Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi, from Sept. 18 - Oct. 17. "The Initial Needs of AC Morgoode" presented Erpelding's project AC Morgoode (formerly ACorporation Inc.) which is a corporation as an art piece. The project explores the tension between corporate personhood and what it means more generally to be a person.
The show included participatory elements where visitors were encouraged to satisfy one of the needs of the first tier of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs on behalf of AC Morgoode, a series of letters advocating for the consistent treatment of corporations as persons, a video piece exploring the history and current realities of corporate personhood, a series of digital prints of proposals for billboards and a text piece written by art critic Ben Davis for the exhibition.
