About This Event

Is this thing on? An exhibition of work by new School of Art faculty Oct 21 to Nov 7 | Harry Wood Gallery Opening reception | Oct 21 | 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. “Is this thing on?” brings together four new School of Art faculty whose artistic practices explore communication, connection and the spaces in between. Zeina Barakeh's animation deploys percussive, industrial sound against historical imagery as a means of digital resistance, broadcasting counter-narratives across a borderless cyberwar landscape. Bentley Brown's raw, collage-driven paintings sample art history and explore Black identity and interculturalism through improvisation and layered materials. Ryan Kirkpatrick combines personal sound collage with intimate visual poetry, transforming private disclosure into shared experience. Geoff Marslett's narrative follows unanswered transmissions—a trucker's CB radio calls and a whale singing at a frequency no one else can hear—mapping isolation and loneliness.
