Join Professor of Art History John Peffer October 9th, from 1:10 – 2:10 for a performance relating to his works on view in the Visual Arts Faculty Exhibition.

“Liner Notes” is a slide show and audio lecture that describes the look, the feel, and the sounds of an archive of music recordings censored during apartheid in South Africa. During apartheid, vinyl records were physically cut with a sharp object to prevent them from being played on the radio, but Peffer holds up those scratches for visual analysis and plays them back anyway.

The exhibition will be on view in the Berrie Center’s Kresge and Pascal Galleries from September 24th – November 21st. The Galleries are open Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 1-5 p.m., Wednesday, 1-7 p.m..

Join Sculpture Technology Assistant Dylan McLaughlin October 22nd, from 4:45 – 5:45 for a performance and talk about his work in the Visual Arts Faculty Exhibition.

Songs of Tempestuous Rising and Falling is a performative work by Dylan McLaughlin. It is a critical embodiment of the monsters that we live among that have shaped our landscapes. It is a meditation on relationships to place, to violence, to harmony, and disharmony. Songs of Tempestuous Rising and Falling meditates on the resonating eco-violence of place. Building on responses to legacies of extractive violence on the Navajo Nation, this work gives space to hear and feel what the acoustic world is speaking. The work provides a space of reverence and reflection.

Dylan McLaughlin synthesizes noise, image, performance, and sculpture, citing Diné cosmologies and ecologies of extraction. He looks to familial narratives and the entanglements of colonialism that underwrite technologies of extraction and violence. His work makes felt what might otherwise remain abstract; with sound-and-light installations evoking the exploitation, displacement, and weaponization of Indigenous communities and technologies.

The Visual Arts Faculty Exhibition will be on view in the Berrie Center’s Kresge and Pascal Galleries from September 24th – November 21st. The Galleries are open Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 1-5 p.m., Wednesday, 1-7 p.m..
