Artist Reception: ‘Spacetime (x, y, z + t)’
Emerson Contemporary proudly presents Spacetime (x, y, x + t), a multi-dimensional exhibition that features experimental works by regional and international artists: Katherine Mitchell DiRico (U.S.), Monika Grzymala (Germany), Nicole L’Huillier (Chile), Zsuzsanna Szegedi (Hungary), and Sarah Trahan (U.S.). Curated by Dr. Leonie Bradbury, the exhibition features digital projections, 3D printed objects, inkjet prints, virtual reality drawings, video, site specific light installation, and a dancing robot.
In putting together this exhibition, Bradbury considered how our perceptions are challenged and consequently change when artists include a durational element into an otherwise object-based artistic practice. Additionally, Spacetime includes both subtle and dramatic sonic elements that, when combined with drastic scale shifts of the various installations, contribute to a compelling immersive exhibition experience.
The exhibition opens January 22 with an artists’ reception and runs through March 15. Emerson’s Media Art Gallery is open Wednesday through Sunday, from 12:00-7:00 pm. The exhibition and related programming are free and open to the public.

After 8 p.m. strikes, the RAs will compare who the winners are in the two categories of BiGGER or BETTER. Who will win? Only time will tell… and your participation.Do you wish to join the challenge? If you do, you can. All you need to start is a standard paperclip, any color will do.If you accept the challenge and enroll yourself in the game.
