Berg will christen the exhibition space with a performance beginning sharply at 6pm during the season opening.

Fade In: three years by Skye Ashbrook
February 1, 8 pm
Visual Arts Center
Runs nightly through May 11
Ashbrook describes three years as an ongoing piece that encapsulates sections of his life and experiences. Composed of thousands of frames montaged into a single work, Ashbrook's video serves as an abstract diary and a response to interpersonal situations. More contemplative than reactionary, three years represents an inquiry of the condensation of an era into a moment. Ashbrook's work is indebted to the films of Stan Brakhage and Jonas Mekas through the exploration of his own highly personal narrative abstraction.
