The artists’ reception will begin at 6 p.m. following T + T’s gallery talk, which is to begin at 5 p.m. Special guest to the talk and reception is the German Ambassador who will introduce T + T’s art.
Exhibition Details:
Virtuelle Mauer/ReConstructing the Wall, an interactive 3D installation by T+T (Tamiko Thiel and Teresa Reuter)
In this project, the artist team T + T has digitally reconstructed a section of the Berlin Wall and its surrounding neighborhoods. Set primarily in the 1980s, the artwork is projected life-sized to immerse users visually and kinesthetically in the virtual world. Exploring the space via a simple joystick, users’ actions and movements trigger a web of scenes depicting everyday stories and historical events. Users are in effect the main characters, average Berliners who have to live day in and day out “in the shadow of the wall.”
Cole Sternberg: and those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music
Renowned L.A.–based artist and AU Washington College of Law alum Cole Sternberg presents an exhibition of works that blends the fields of international law and contemporary art to critically analyze human rights and the application of international law. Sternberg's works address a variety of human rights concerns from humankind's historical genocidal nature to U.S. government-sanctioned torture to Chinese labor camps.
