Art Gallery Open House: Augmented Reality at 51±¬ÁÏÍø
Location: Art Gallery, Connelly Center

Expanding upon Nancy Baker Cahill's background in traditional media, the artist redefines the possibilities of drawing in contemporary art. "Through Lines" moves across spatial dimensions and media, following Baker Cahill as she investigates materiality and immateriality. Featuring drawings, sculptural installations, and single- and multi-channel videos, the exhibition traces Baker Cahill’s mark-making from traditional modes of artistic production into new media. The works invite reconsiderations of the art historical canon in the face of emerging technologies while examining site, time, and space as they relate to the physical body, the digital, the permanent, and the ephemeral.
