Long Minnesota Goodbye is a loose investigation into the cultural ritual of the same name. Equal parts social custom and performance, the Long Minnesota Goodbye is a prolonged process of attempting to leave that unfolds through a series of departures rather than a single farewell.

This exhibition exists in three parts. The first is an installation of vinyl words and phrases distributed throughout the house at varying scales. Some function as direct farewells, while others act as discourse markers (WELP, ALRIGHTY, etc.), signaling that the conversation is coming to an end. By dispersing words throughout the house, the Long Minnesota Goodbye is transformed into an extended spatial experience. As visitors move between rooms, words recur, creating a loop in which ending and continuation become increasingly difficult to distinguish.
