He will discuss recent findings of water at the poles of the Moon and its importance to future human lunar exploration.

New & Selected Work by Peter Rose
|
|
What: Since 1968 Peter Rose has made over thirty films, tapes, performances and
installations. Many of the early works raise intriguing questions about the
nature of time, space, light, and perception and draw upon Rose's background in
mathematics and on the influence of structuralist filmmakers. He subsequently
became interested in language as a subject and in video as a medium and
generated a substantial body of work that played with the feel and form of
sense, concrete texts, political satire, oddball performance, and a kind of
intellectual comedy. Recent video installations have involved a return to an
examination of landscape, time, and vision.

Rodgers & Hammerstein's OKLAHOMA
|
|
What: RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN’S OKLAHOMA!! Rodgers & Hammerstein's first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, having set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre still being followed today. This wholesome version of the original is set in the Western Indian Territory just after the turn of the 20th century; the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their courtship. That they will succeed in making a new life together we have no doubt, and that this new life will begin in a brand-new state provides the ultimate climax to the triumphant OKLAHOMA!

Daniel McGrath: What Pictures Want
|
|
What: What Pictures Want is an ongoing series of text based paintings based on W.J.T. Mitchell’s hypothesis that pictures must be considered living things that communicate and have desires, as outlined in his essay “What Do Pictures Want?” from 2005. These paintings' desires in short, are to trade places with the beholder turning him or her into an image for the gaze of the picture. A generic font and an anonymous value scale of black and white, both are nearly ubiquitous in our visual landscape today. Zeroing in on some of the more outrageous statements made in these books, each painting conveys a statement in the form of a dryly written vinyl didactic panel.
