Ob·ject Lessons
Saturday, February 5th through Saturday, February 12th
|  Ob·ject Lessons debuts videos recently produced by the 2012 Master of Fine Arts in Acting candidates from the OSU Department of Theatre.

Creating a "cinema/video sketchbook," these works illustrate in time an otherwise transitory performance-based practice. Ob·ject Lessons also features previous 2010 work by some participating graduate students.

Upcoming Exhibitions
Domestic Matters: Distilling Geographies, Identities and Boundaries
Tuesday, March 1st through Thursday, March 31st
Reception: Thursday, March 3rd, 6 to 8pm
|  Domestic Matters explores the intimate geographies and everyday life practices in the Agrarian South. Combining mixed media, moving bodies and constructions of recycled materials and familiar spaces, the company entertains questions of art as a necessity and the embodiment of socio-cultural norms, socio-economics and constructions of identity.
Using materials (tar, reclaimed wood, corrugated metal, house paint, photographs), dancing bodies, stories and recipes of the South, Domestic Matters works with memory, displacement, concepts of home, and the complexities of gender, race, and sexuality.
