EXHIBITIONS
On Campus:
p l o t @ Physcial Lab, Morgan Building
October 31st - November 5th
Opening Reception: October 31st 6:00 - 8:00 PM
MFA '15 James Howzell and Lydia Rosenberg present p l o t:
Scattered about, the scenic elements reveal themselves as two workbodies collapse into the space of the room. We are not detectives. We are not detectives. We are not getting a clear picture from the EMF reader so we cannot say for sure what all is present, nor are we certain as to how things will unfold. The opportunity is only as long as the window is open. The evidence is less telling than what we had imagined.
The Philadelphia Experience:
Itinerant Belongings @ Slought
November 1st - December 20th
Opening Reception: November 1st 6:30 - 8:30 PM
Itinerant Belongings examines how artists have engaged with ideas of homeland and belonging that fail to cohere to a unitary sense of time or place. Through film, photography and performance, the artists in this exhibition explore the contours of belonging across different contexts - from the invention of nationalist social rituals to the homecoming of veterans, from the trope of the "haunted" house to that of the family portrait. Work by Yael Bartana, Jamie Diamond, Andrew Moore, William Pope.L, Paul Salveson, Jessica Vaughn, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and Krzysztof Wodiczko
