Via VSW:
Current VSW Artist-in-Residence, Heidi Kumao, will be speaking about her most recent work on Wednesday, October 28 at 6PM in the Visual Studies Workshop Media Center.
“Timed Release,” an exhibition of Heidi’s work will open next Friday, November 6 at VSW.
Heidi Kumao is a 2009 Guggenheim fellow and an artist resident of Visual Studies Workshop this year. She is an interdisciplinary artist who creates video and machine art to explore ordinary social interactions and their psychological undercurrents. Emerging from the intersection of sculpture, theater and engineering, her “performative technologies” generate artistic spectacle in order to visualize the unseen: psychological states, emotions, compulsions, thinking patterns, and dreams. These works are designed to re-enact an event, perform a task for the viewer, or mediate her roles as a woman. Through the creation of kinetic and electronic sculpture, interactive installations and digital animations, she seeks to heighten awareness of our everyday experiences such as childhood play, family dynamics, television news, and even the wearing of clothes.
