No Budget Summer Film Workshop
In August, Opelika-Auburn Film Arts Collective invited local artists to participate in the No Budget Summer Film Workshop for students.
They held a free, week-long film camp where students created videos based on a group exhibition of our work. At the end we got together to share about our practices and watch what the students created during the week. I was inspired by the deep engagement of the young artists in such a short period of time and by the local community’s support.

POWER DYNAMICS at Powerhouse Arts
Power inspires and fuels the world, just as it subverts and poisons in equal measure. It is perhaps one of the great juxtapositions of humanity: when used for good, it brings joy and benevolence; yet when used with nefarious intentions, it delivers wrath and destruction. Artists have heralded and critiqued power for all time, examining all of its many nuances and forms across all media through all possible readings of the term. For this inaugural collaboration held at a former power plant in the historic industrial hub of Gowanus, Brooklyn, we encourage artists to think about what power means to them today.

Interpreting Movement: Manifestations of Expression at UVU
Show Statement
Art is a powerful tool that can be used to reflect on human experience. For many artists the body is the primary conduit for both conceptual thought and physical action, making it easy to see why movement is referred to as the universal language of expression. Herein, each work becomes a record of the body and mind, weaving together many actions to create a harmonious dialogue that transcends the given medium. The works in this show have been selected and organized to highlight the profound connection between the visual and the kinetic. They stand as a study in the intricacies of movement.
