Experience immersive and interactive installations and see videos, films, and works on paper by two artists who inspire a greater awareness of our surroundings, humanity, and spirituality. Nancy Holt: Power Systems, developed in partnership with Holt/Smithson Foundation, is the largest exhibition of her studies of human-made systems and unseen infrastructure that gives us the energy, light, heat, and ventilation that we all rely on. Maria Hupfield: The Endless Return of Fabulous Panther (Biimskojiwan) is the US premiere of the artist’s critically acclaimed, interactive installation shown at this year’s Toronto Biennial. Through videos and a dynamic sculpture, Hupfield explores Indigenous mythology and culture and challenges the expectations for displaying and interacting with art.
In addition to getting a first look at these presentations, you can also interact with large-scale furniture by Outpost Office outside on the plaza.
The reception begins at 5 PM. At 5:30 PM, everyone is invited to a conversation in the Film/Video Theater with Maria Hupfield and Lisa Le Feuvre, curator of both exhibitions and executive director of the Holt/Smithson Foundation. The talk is moderated by Rebecca Brown Asmo, executive director of Ohio Humanities. The exhibitions will open to the public after the talk.
