MEANDER
Marite Kuus + Lauren Runions

MEANDER is a sensuous geography directing you through inquiry and reflection. This double spiral labyrinth is an uninterrupted shell for (the illusion of) isolation. Meditation, solitude, wander, rest.

DRIFT
Lou Campbell

DRIFT is a two part sound installation to be experienced while entering, moving through, and exiting the labyrinth. It asks listeners where they feel most connected to the universe, and invites them to think about being alone as a chance to make space for that connection.

TISSUE ISSUE
Brenda Duran

A whimsical interactive set design meant to trigger our new thoughts and opinions on the obscure events during the pandemic. When the world was notified about the virus, people were rushing to the store not for food, or medicine, but for toilet paper. It was the catalyst of odd behavior that circled through social media and kept us all entertained during the months of isolation. Looking through the sustainability lens, this set is designed with the intentions of utilizing repurposed, reusable and recyclable materials.

THE WRITING ON THE BATHROOM WALL
Anita Chastanet + Everette Fournier

A club, an imaginary meeting place, and an installation exploring themes of isolation in public spaces. As we bring our bodies and minds back together into social settings, how has long-term isolation affected our ability to participate in these spaces? How have these spaces changed? Are they safer or more precarious than they were prior to the pandemic? Within this piece we hope to invoke the statement: loneliness doesn’t disappear just because we are able to be in space together. Loneliness runs much deeper, it perseveres in crowded spaces, around family and friends. Yet we exist in a world that would continue to pretend that the “normal” we are striving to get back to shouldn’t come with fundamental change. Here, we play with the balancing act of navigating social anxiety and the joy in togetherness.
