Video/Sound Performance with Andrew Neumann

December 6, 2024, 6:30PM

A woman’ s face and torso, turned 45 degrees towards the camera, is shown inside (or in front of) a studio space filled with electronic equipment. The woman is half substance and half outline: her shirt is solid, but most her face is a window into another image that shows neatly looped cables hanging on a wall. There is something amiss about the studio space too: while objects such as a tripod can be clearly discerned, other portions feature inverted tones and other forms of electronic manipulation.

Three videos are shown in a gallery space.

At right, a flat monitor shows an image of‬ ‭ an older woman against a yellow background; portions of the background show through‬ ‭the face. At right, a boxy video monitor sits on a stand.‬ ‭

Graduate Student Talk: Manaswi Mishra

November 21, 2024, 5:30 - 6PM

A woman in a button-up shirt plays a violin. She leans slightly backwards or to the side, as if caught in the middle of full-body swaying or dancing. The image is grayscale and distinctly low resolution.

Behind the Scenes: Steina

November 20, 2024, 5:30 - 7PM

Close-up images of colorful plants are projected onto four screens suspended in a dark gallery . The screen closest to the camera fills the left portion of the image and shows blurry , abstracted patches of magenta, blue, and green. Beads of water are visible on the surface of the projected image. The other screens are more in-focus and show branchlike leaves and stems, perhaps moss or a dif ferent kind of small plant. The screens are rectangular and taller than they are wide.

Graduate Student Talk: Nikhil Singh

November 7, 2024, 5:30 - 6PM

A round, distorted image of a woman set within a rectangular frame. A smaller black circle occupies the center of the frame, like an eye or lens around which the image revolves. The woman stands and reaches down toward the camera; the perspective makes it seem like her hands are as big as the entire rest of her body . The texture of grass is visible in the bottom portion of the image, while a building, trees, and sky are visible in the background.
