The exhibition borrows its title from the Facebook term for removing a person from one’s "friends list." Artists were ask to consider the idea of being "unfriended" personally, publicly, globally, and environmentally.

Some ideas considered were notions of social pressure within today’s social networking platforms, the effects of technology on today’s society, personal loss, childhood, and the relationship of industry with the environment.

The exhibit will close on Sunday, August 21st, 2011, at 4:00 p.m.
