Detailed Information Artists-at-Work Series More on Jim Cogswell
In 1999, these presenters, together with bio-statistician Fred Bookstein and poet Richard Tillinghast, began a collaboration, “Ariel’s Web,” that culminated in a dance/mixed media performance at the Power Center in 2000. The current exhibit foregrounds Cogswell’s original sculptural objects from that project in a dramatic installation that incorporates the elements of the poetry, the dance-as-morphing-grid, and the music that made up the original performance.
Cogswell’s sculptures, made from wax and sticks, wire and found objects, appear almost biomorphic, like specimens at a natural history museum. He describes them as having “taut, semi-translucent surfaces that have the sensual attraction of human skin.”
We invite you to hear Jim Cogswell (School of Art & Design), Peter Sparling (Dance), and Andrew Mead (Music), three of the original artists, as they reflect anew on the work now translated from performance into installation.
The exhibition, “In-Running, Out-Flowing Web,” is on exhibit in the Osterman Common Room, 0520 Rackham, from March 1 – 26.
