SUMMARY:Hadi Tabatabai: New CFA Installation
DESCRIPTION:Coinciding with his exhibition at the Miller Gallery\, Hadi Tabatabai presents a new original installation in the College of Fine Art Great Hall for the wats:ON? Festival. The installation will open on November 2 with a reception at 5:00pm\, followed by a talk with the artist in Kresge Theatre at 6:00pm. \nThrough an elegant combination of drawing\, painting and sculpture\, Hadi Tabatabai’s work describes a place that is as much an idea as a physical location. These compositions embody liminality: that is\, they create a constant experience of sensations that exist at the limen\, or edge\, of perception. To bring about this state\, Tabatabai has removed all possible distractions. Narrative and figuration\, even figure and ground\, have been excised from these delicate combinations of squares\, rectangles\, and floating lines. \nTabatabai uses the physical nature of the materials to create subtle shifts within the surface plane. The lines are delineated by slightly raised or lowered edges of materials to create works that straddle the realm of the pictorial and the sculptural. Through the use of light and shadow\, depth of field\, and other optical obfuscations\, the positive and negative space in the paintings becomes indeterminate. His work evokes the relationship between what is imagined on the surface and what is actually rendered – in a sense questioning what is being ‘looked at’ or ‘seen’. \nFor the past twenty years\, Tabatabai has devoted his attention to a very tiny area – an area that comprises the physicality of a line and functions as the transitional space between two entities. He views the ‘line’ as empty space without an agenda or allegiance; it is neither here nor there. Tabatabai believes that by paying attention to this tiny\, subtle\, yet detailed space\, one is forced to turn away from the outside world and focus inward on one’s own interior space.

SUMMARY:Summer Leavitt: We have a future\, perhaps.
DESCRIPTION:The Frame Gallery presents a solo exhibition by senior Summer Leavitt with an opening reception on November 10\, 6-9pm. \nExhibition Statement\n“In the absence of institutionalized documentation or in opposition to official histories\, memory becomes a valuable historical resource\, and ephemeral and personal collections of objects stand alongside the documents of the dominant culture in order to offer alternative modes of knowledge” *an Ann Cvetkovich quote featured in Queer Times\, Queer Becomings* . Also featured in Queer Times\, Queer Becomings are references to the Derridean archive fever\, “to be en mal d’archive (in need of archives) is not just to desire a past\, but to burn with a passion for origins; a nostalgia\, a homesickness.” This show is a collection of seeking origins and creating\, documenting\, archiving moments of my own queer existence and queer desire to prolong them\, find representation\, take myself into the future. Thinking about time and erasure\, these works are a declaration and affirmation of my existence\, constructing a narrative in which no matter what the future is\, I\, as a queer person\, can still exist.”

SUMMARY:Gray Swartzel: Mother Tongue No. II
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Opening: Friday November 17th\, 7–10pm\nPublic Hours: November 18th and 19th\, 3 – 6pm \n“A little light enters me. Something inside me begins to stir. Barely. Something new has moved me. As though I’d taken a first step inside myself. As if a breath of air had penetrated a completely petrified being\, unsticking its mass. Waking me from a long sleep. From an ancient dream. A dream which must not have been my own\, but in which I was captive. Was I a participant\, or was I the dream itself­­—another’s dream\, a dream about another?”\n-One Doesn’t Stir without the Other\, Luce Irigaray and Hélène Vivienne Wenzel \n\nUpon coming across a home video that presents both his pregnant mother and the artist as a newborn\, Gray Swartzel performs a slapstick drag persona of his mother in order to queer his existence prior to birth. The exhibition features new photographs\, video and installation that depicts the pair in 1991 and in 2017 as they perform their mother child relationship.
