Olson Gallery
Yes, No. Yes, No.New sabbatical work by Jessica Henderson.
Random and referential, sarcastic and sentimental, nonsensical and narrative... Through a densely layered multimedia installation, Henderson visualizes the complicated tensions that emerge when embodied individuals live increasingly disembodied—or multi-bodied—lives.
As tech's involvement in daily life continues to increase at a disorienting rate, Henderson seeks to create space for conversation and consideration of the ways in which pervasive technologies shape human experience.
Johnson Gallery
Free Energy by Shana KaplowShana Kaplow's multimedia work in painting, video, and sculpture connects personal narrative with larger global questions.
Stemming from her father's early work with solar energy, she reflects images of power lines, oil derricks, and the sun in a curved, circular mirror, using the reflections as points of departure. The resulting artworks challenge direct perception, suggesting celestial mechanics, electromagnetic fields, or astral watchers.
Kaplow works improvisationally, resulting in materially visceral artworks that embody qualities such as dissolution and luminosity. In mining these mercurial distortions, Kaplow's work reveals an instability in these entrenched structures, signaling either the brink of collapse or the potential for transformation.
