Wish You Were Here: Joy Episalla
Advertisement
Joy Episalla’s work repositions photography and the moving image into the territory of sculpture. From a queer/feminist perspective, Episalla engages with the dynamics of transformation, multiplicity and hybridity through the mutability of materials, observation, process, time, movement, seriality and sound. In her film As long as there's you, as long as there's me, she sequences and parlays disparate filmed moments into a travelogue of non-performance performance. In their photo-derived sculptural work, such as the foldtograms, the light sensitive (silver gelatin or chromogenic) objects result from performative and out-of-sequence actions and processes, which are then installed in site-responsive situations.
Tickets are recommended to be purchased in advance, but will also available at the door. Members and students with ID are free; $15 nonmembers.
The Wish You Were Here series is generously supported by Thomas N. Tischer, PhD.
