A Sacred Plural
A collaborative dinner and immersive art exhibition featuring paintings and ice sculptures by Emery Gluck, video by Virginia Walcott, and sound by India Mello.
In the swirl of life where everything is continuously shifting, melting, rocking, staying - what is it that holds us? My collaborators and I dreamt up a space to explore this through friendship, water, and time. It was a dinner with friends, a collaborative multi-artist, multi-sensory installation, a social sculpture, and a performance centered around the question: Do you feel these bodies around you?
Art about water, friendship and time made by 4 different artists held the space between courses. Spanning painting, sculpture, video, and sound, these works looped, melted, and swayed individually, in tandem. Each time a viewer encountered an artwork, they met it at a new point in its cycle. And between courses, we invited our friends to sit with and reflect on the art’s inevitable change.
