Hinges, Mirrors & Eclipses
2018

Summer Workshop VII 

With every surface as potential lens and mirror, every moment as potential hinge and eclipse, every person as potential actor and audience, the geographies we are navigating contain multiple forms of experiences that at once collapse and expand the spaces between us. Hinges, Mirrors & Eclipses was grounded in the idea that spatial, poetic and material imaginations provide a unique means of registering and creating transformation: of engaging the world and making a contribution. Working from the principle that our capacity to act in the world is rooted in our capacity to recognize and comprehend transformation, the workshop covered a large arc of content, asking questions of our world, our disciplines and our humanity.  The workshop was directed by David Gersten and cotaught with Arts Letters & Numbers Fellows and Visiting Artists.
