Hsin-Hsi Chen:
Liminal & Nancy Havlik's
Dance Performance Group
March 23 | 8:00 - 9:00 PM
Kaplan Gallery
Join us for a special encore performance by Nancy Havlik's Dance Performance Group in response to Hsin-Hsi Chen's exhibition
Liminal
.
Hsin-Hsi Chen is known for her exquisite, illusionary pencil drawings on unique constructed 3D forms of paper and wood. Chen's initial mission was to use only these basic materials and see how far they would take her. Her recent work has evolved beyond pencil and paper to include a variety of scales, two and three-dimensional work, full-room installation, and collaborations using 3D modeling/printing and projection. In her solo exhibition at VisArts, Chen assembles new work that considers the entire gallery as a site where light, shadow, space, drawing, and discovery merge.

Roberto Bocci:
Twilight Silhouette, Those Who Come and Those Who Leave
March 23 - April 22, 2018
Gibbs Street Gallery
This series was shot over an interval of approximately 90 minutes before and after sunset as evening joggers and walkers moved around the 16th century Medici Fortress in Siena, Italy (the artist's country and city of birth). Bocci experiments with single and composite images that explore ideas of time passage, space, simultaneity, the cyclical nature of existence as well as concerns about the sustainability of life on our planet.
