Date Range
Add to Calendar 2021-09-16 11:00:00 2021-09-24 16:00:00 Sometimes I make the shape of a hug with my arms and imagine you inside it 'Sometimes I make the shape of a hug with my arms and imagine you inside it' is a cross-disciplinary, multimedia collision of theatrical situation, video, original songwriting, and installation by Tom Dugdale, Assistant Professor in the Department of Theatre, Film, and Media Arts.  One at time, visitors step into a private, immersive installation whose arrangement of scenery and objects suggests a surreal listening room. Two video projections dominate the space, weaving in and out of relationship. Scattered everywhere are what appear to be lyric sheets for songs, furiously marked up and annotated. In the center of the room, an audio device loaded up with music invites the visitor to play any track they wish, to assemble their own soundtrack of love and loss, to unravel the mystery of this strange space. The online extension of this exhibition is currently on view at UAS Online from September 16-30. View the online Hybrid Arts Lab exhibition here. Read more about the exhibition here.
