On view: May 2 - May 19
Rustle and Cry, by Hana S. Kim, is a site-specific video art installation that will be projected onto the facades of the Fowler-Johnson buildings and can be viewed nightly from the courtyard. The installation is conceived in collaboration with Visiting Professor Camilla Taylor's ARTS228 | Book Arts: The Hand Printed Book class and presented in conjunction with a limited edition collaborative art book.
It is a playful exploration of the poetry and imagery from the book, which in turn is a response to observations of the dynamic between human and urban wildlife on campus. The poem consolidates the collective experience and observation from the class, and the installation finds forms where each collaborating artists’ contemplations weave in and out, morphing from one form to another.
The Ettinger Projected Poetry and Art Project is a public art project that infuses the written word and images into everyday moments around campus. Presented nightly for several hours each semester through spring 2020, the rotating exhibitions will project provocative and intellectual work on frequently viewed spaces on campus, inspiring deep collaborations between the arts and digital sciences and building pathways and partnerships that mirror our increasingly pluralistic world.
