Taking It to the Streets

UVA Aunspaugh Fifth Year Fellowship Art Exhibition
April 6 - April 10

Featuring:

"Things to Take with You"
Film and Video Work by Andrew Mausert-Mooney

Four new works exploring narrative and abstraction in film and video.
1) Re-represented everyday methods and objects provide insight into lay-led spiritual community.
2) A portrait of a young person struggling to make his moments count in a strip-mall suburb.
3) How might you tell the story of an internal crisis? A filmic experiment about a nun, her sister, and a desert storm.
4) An ecstatic moment shot in 400 frames per second: gravity, light, and flesh.

"No More Waves, This Is Undertow"
Multimedia Installation by Patrick Costello

Lots of new work focusing on people trying to figure out how to live in the world and with the earth in the face of human-made environmental destruction. The pieces highlight small acts, like vegetable gardening, as significant parts of resistance and new beginnings. The questions we are asking may not have answers, and the little things that we do are not always solutions, but we do them anyway because they are difficult, because they might not work.

"Teachability"
Paintings by James Dean Erickson

An event celebrating the uncommon teachers of our community through the language and tradition of portrait painting.
