R. Luke DuBois is a composer, artist, and performer who explores the temporal, verbal, and visual structures of cultural and personal ephemera. His recent work is a sonic and encyclopedic relative to time-lapse photography. A practitioner of synesthesia, DuBois will relay the correspondence between painter Vasily Kandinsky and composers Arnold Schoenberg and Alexander Scriabin while inviting the audience to experience an interpretive landscape of sound. A reception follows the tour.

Celebrated for her large-scale paintings and abstract drawings, Julie Mehretu’s recent work explores the intersections of power, history, and the built environment and their impact on the formation of personal and transcommunal identities.

An evolving artist collective of nomads born anytime between the 20th and 21st centuries in various parts of the world, assume vivid astro focus (avaf) is known for creating ambitious and immersive installations that engage the architecture, culture, and history of their exhibition venues to create an enjoyably interactive art experience. Their work includes both two-dimensional and sculptural elements that often feature performance, music, dance, and video.
