Hybrid Arts Lab Exhibits
Hear We Go
In an increasingly populated world, we find ourselves inextricably connected. Hear We Go tells the story of one Mime and one Foley Artist who find themselves in an interdimensional struggle. At first, the boundary between them is solid. One reality silent and invisible, the other tangible and cacophonous. Each is only leading their own lives, but what happens when the barrier between them begins to crack? Can they set things right again, or will chaos rule?
19ChoreOVIDs
During the COVID-19 era, dance professor Susan Van Pelt Petry used dance, movement and performance to process and archive the emotional themes of the pandemic—along with the profound momentum that is building to change racist systems, people and policies. 19ChoreOVIDs reflects the intense, fraught and sometimes ludicrous journey of these times through 19 short pieces and corresponding essays.
SURFACE/SKIN/SIGHT
The students in Advanced Photo and Advanced Sculpture Autumn 2020 present SURFACE/SKIN/SIGHT a collaborative, experimental effort between students exploring the intersections of photography, performance for the camera, printmaking, video and sculpture. The multi-medium exhibition explores how sight and visuality can limit or expand one’s understanding of identity, belonging, and being.
Picturing Power & Privilege
Terms like “Power,” “Privilege,” “Oppression,” and “Social Justice” are increasingly part of our national discourse, but what do they mean in our daily lives? When do they affect us? Where do they manifest themselves in our lives? How do we understand these ideas? If we are to come to a shared understanding, then we need a shared language — and creating a shared visual language helps us share and discuss these abstract but urgent concepts.
One Voice, One Message: Black Lives Matter
This online exhibition, with photography and commentary by Joshua Edmonds, shares just a fragment of that reaction that took place in Columbus, Ohio the following days after George Floyd's death. An all too familiar movement resurfaced and the shock, pain, and anger reverberated not just through the U.S. but the world. People took to the streets to protest, to be heard, to enact change.
Tappyness
Tappyness, a live performance recorded on September 12 in Hybrid Arts Lab at Stillman Hall Tent by Matt Greenberg and Erin Parsons, graduate students in theatre, is a multidisciplinary happening where dance meets theatre, telling the story of one woman's mental health journey as she struggles to "stay in time."
Rapid Fire Text
Rapid Fire Text is the result of an improvisational ink workshop facilitated by Lori Esposito, PhD candidate in arts administration, education and policy. It acknowledges forces that can manipulate, elevate, sensor or silence. Harnessing this ancient fluid media (ink), students become familiar with how duration and speed can function as tools for developing their writing, self-representation, and expression within a classroom community.
