Space is limited to 15 people. Must RSVP to attend.

On Monday afternoon, join Rick in Bridwell's 2nd Floor Conference Room (207) for an informal conceptual chronology and conversation, involving ephemeral relics in the form of bitten paper, a photocopier art heist, a hundred year held breath, ice skating based on eye movements, dissipating words from remnants of The Parthenon, an absurdly reduced velocity projectile, a submerged silent sound work, and numerous drawings in which one hand interrupts the other. Feel free to come and listen or to get involved in questioning what may be constructed through bridging disparate thresholds.
