Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress
by Juliany Taveras
Based on the book by Christine Baldacchino and Isabelle Malenfant

Directed by Julie Herber

Run time: Around one hour with no intermission
This show is appropriate for all ages.

About: Morris loves space adventures, painting, and especially the bright tangerine dress in his classroom's dress-up center. But when others question his choices, Morris must find the courage to stand tall in who he is. With the help of his vivid imagination – and the roar of space tigers – he shows everyone that bravery means being true to yourself.

On View: September 12 - October 11
Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Saturday 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.

In her work, Yaniv draws on patterns from nature and images from daily life, altogether forming landscapes which blur the line between the real and the imagined, the organic and the artificial, the chaotic and the orderly. For this exhibition, she takes her inspiration from Patrick Svensson’s "The Book of Eels," a mix of natural history, memoir, and metaphysical musings, fusing scientific mysteries with lived experience. The eel is born in the Sargasso Sea, a place of legend but also a fundamental part of the ocean, encompassing two million square miles in the subtropical North Atlantic Ocean. A sea within a sea, it is enclosed only by several large rotating ocean currents. This large installation is a collaboration with the Department of Dance, and considers, in multi-modal ways, life and loss, journey, metamorphosis, complexity, and culture-nature (endangered).

Reception September 11 following the 6:30 p.m. lecture and dance performance.

On September 11, 12 and 13 experience dance and sculpture in dynamic interplay just before the Inertia dance performance.

The work in this exhibition compresses and expands expectations of depth as moderated by a post-image visual culture. The artists adhere to neither medium nor dimensional restrictions, but manipulate the viewer’s relationship to the image as a temporal document, compressed and fractured, through the singular eye of the lens. This expectation, no longer warranted in the age of computer generated images, becomes a fallacy of both the eye and of the language used to comprehend it. The image is untethered from representation and logical spatial association. Spatial continuity and discontinuity run amok in playful fracture--the work pushes and prods the amorphous opening left in the wake of this rupture; what was flat is unmoored of grounding, what was solid is now compressed.

Reception September 11 following the 6:30 p.m. lecture.

How have recent upheavals—from the pandemic to global conflicts, amplified by media—reshaped our private lives? How do personal memories become collective history? In a world forever changed, how do we find our way forward? Elaine Qiu’s awe-inspiring installation of painting, video, and sound invites visitors into a multi-sensory exploration of communal consciousness, connection, and healing in a fragmented, post-pandemic world.

They started their improv career in Boston and then moved to Baltimore in 2004, where they became a founding member of the Baltimore Improv Group.
