Will Rawls: Everlasting Stranger Performance

July 24, 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM听|听

In听Everlasting Stranger, New York-based choreographer and writer Will Rawls (b. 1978, Boston, MA) activates relationships between language, dance, and image through the fragmentary medium of stop-motion animation. In his installation, time and movement slow as a live, automated camera photographs the frame-by-frame actions of four dancers. While the performers occupy the labor of becoming images, visual capture is staged as an obsessive process that is constant yet compromised by the movement it aims to fix. Here, as in previous works, Rawls develops strategies of evasion and engagement within systems that mediate, distort, and abstract the body.

Elaine Cameron-Weir: STAR CLUB REDEMPTION BOOTH

Ongoing through September 12 |

For her exhibition at the Henry Art Gallery, Elaine Cameron-Weir has created new work conceived in conversation with dynamic double-height volume of the museum鈥檚 lower level. At the center of the installation are two human-sized, metal cases鈥攎ilitary equipment designed to transport bodily remains鈥攖hat serve as counterweights to conveyor belts that rise up from the ground like suspended bodily stand-ins. Human vulnerability is a central theme across Cameron-Weir鈥檚 work and is particularly potent in the artist鈥檚 Henry exhibition, which is informed by the way social systems arbitrate the value of corporeal existence.

Music of Today: DXARTS Spring Concert

After a year of online rehearsals, view a recording of a stream of Indigo Mist’s concert back on stage for a set of genre-defying music based on improvisation.听Initially the brainchild of Richard Karpen and Cuong Vu, Indigo Mist has become a vehicle for the musical musings of a group of forward reaching artists with tendencies towards experimentation. Having crossed paths over the years as 天美影视传媒 faculty, the group is currently comprised of Cuong Vu (trumpet), Richard Karpen (piano), Juan Pampin (electronics), Ted Poor (drums) and Steve Rodby (bass).
