The Sharing Project by @wfuniversity Prof @joel.tauber is a non-fiction film, philosophical journey, personal narrative, and nature film, all intertwined together to explore the meaning of sharing. The movie is screening April 23-25 on the @kunstzeughaus website:
https://www.kunstzeughaus.ch/unser-programm/agenda/agenda/eventdetail/71/102/event-video-screening-joel-tauber

Tauber also created an installation version of The Sharing Project, which explores the meaning of sharing via a series of videos and a communal sculpture of shared objects. The installation is showing through May 16 at the Kunst(Zeug)Haus in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland as part of the physical, in-person exhibition “sharity – teilen, tauschen, verzichten.” Participate by sharing your toys for the communal sculpture of shared objects in The Sharing Project installation. On the last day of the show, May 16, there will be an opportunity to take toys from the communal sculpture and to share them further by offering them to other people.

A YEAR IN REVIEW for Indrani Ashe (Art ‘06)

“At the end of October I performed ‘On Getting Dressed’ along with another new work, ‘2 Poojas’ at Fluctoplasma Festival in Hamburg. 2 poojas retells my personal investigation into the origins of family discord and intergenerational trauma on the occasion of my grandfather's death.”

A YEAR IN REVIEW for Indrani Ashe (Art ‘06)

“In October I was invited to participate in the Asian Performance Art Lab Residency curated by Ming Poon and Frederika Tsai ... "On Getting Dressed" was a 20 minute performance lecture integrated with video in which I discuss the lack of South Asian Femme representation alongside orientalist misrepresentation as I transform myself into a contemporary goddess, in the attempt to become a body that is visible, valuable and powerful despite the weight of history.”

A YEAR IN REVIEW for Indrani Ashe (Art ‘06)

“In March of 2020 I was invited by Curator Kamardip Singh to participate in the exhibition Popadum at The Galallery in San Francisco ... Popadum is a project bringing together art that challenges the status quo by using and updating traditional South Asian tropes, idioms, artistic styles, and pop culture.”

A YEAR IN REVIEW for Indrani Ashe (Art ‘06)

“In February I was invited by curator Paulina Olszewska to show my video installation Fifty Dates of Grey as part of &I<3U2 at Galeria Studio in Warsaw. &I<3U2 explored how women artists speak about love, feelings, their own bodies, their sensuality and other private experiences.”

This exhibition included a variety of artists and works that come from different generations.

The Student Union Art Acquisitions Committee is in their early brainstorming sessions!

Beginning in 1963 and occurring every subsequent four years, students on this committee have been charged with buying contemporary art that “reflects the time.” Though the experience will look a little different this year due to the pandemic, these students are still completely in charge of managing their budget, contacting galleries, and choosing works to add to the collection.
