Every Fiber of My Being | Oct. 10–Nov. 1
Featuring works by Bisa Butler, Jessica Campbell, Luis Flores, Nano Hernandez, and Preta Wolzak, this exhibition explores contemporary image-making that employs fibers as material. From Nano Hernandez’s embroidered portraits to Bisa Butler’s contemporary quilts, the material of fibers – thread, string, rope, fabrics – compete with traditional materials, such as oil paint or clay, as a more seductive and sensuous material to render bodies. The works presented in this exhibition exercise various techniques and methods to manipulate fibers in creating stunning and rich visual experiences.
- Reception: Oct. 10, 4–6 p.m., Joseloff Gallery
- Artist Talk with Jessica Campbell: Oct. 17, 2:30 p.m., Wilde Auditorium
Self-Immersed | Nov. 14–Dec. 13
Self-Immersed is an exhibition featuring immersive environments created by installation artist Meredith Monk, Tracey Snelling, and Karen Tam. In addition to the gallery exhibition, Meredith Monk will perform her latest work, Cellular Songs, in Millard Auditorium.
Viewers enter immersive installations as a way to experience the work of art through multi-sensory stimuli. Sight, touch, smell, hearing, and taste are all activated within these built environments as a conveyance to fantastical musings about love affairs, introspective engagement with our quotidian surroundings, or reflective critique of racialized spaces from the past. These spaces offer multivalent access to the artist's viewpoint, which considers the addition of the audience's presence as a way to activate and engage with the ideas shared within the space.
- Artist Talk: Nov. 14, 3–5 p.m., Wilde Auditorium
- Reception: Nov. 14, 5–7 p.m., Joseloff Gallery
- Performance: Nov. 14, 7:30 p.m., Millard Auditorium
