Julie Henson (b. 1983)

Julie Henson's Not Quite the End is a video installation on the front facade of the Burchfield Penney Art Center. The video is a montage of female performers from past NFL Super Bowl Halftime shows, displaying positions of power though movement, costumes, and stage props; it is projected onto a giant sequin screen with the phrase, "not quite the end," sewn into it. Displayed without sound, the context of the video is reshaped, as is the phrase itself, which originally appeared in the closing title card of the 1963 James Bond film, From Russia with Love. Together, the video and phrase raise questions of how historical narratives are formed and modified over time.
