Détournement literally means “to deflect or redirect.” Originally a mid-20th century French political tactic, the term is recognized today as a strategy of turning known ideas or images into something new and different with the intent to communicate subversive ideas in a familiar guise. Included in the exhibition are comics, posters, commercial design, and other graphics and materials. Curated for the Tarble by EIU Art professors Robert Petersen and Stephen Eskilson.

An EIU alumna, Naomi Sugino Lear is on the Art faculty of Columbia College in Colombia, Missouri: "I explore the idea of how our physical surroundings are an integral part of an artist's diary. These subject matters are the places where I have lived and worked, where I have had both private and shared moments."
