Artists-in-residence Anna Garner and Pablo Rasgado and visiting artist Carolina Maki Kikigawa will discuss the use of sculpture as a medium to examine the movement of bodies in private and public space. Their work considers architecture, the presence of other bodies, and signs of power through spatial relations and visual symbols such as police cars or traffic signs. In conversation with McColl Center visiting curator, Laura Ritchie and UNCC College of Arts and Architecture Director of Galleries, Adam Justice, this panel will examine how performative staging and/or interactions with sculptural structures can reorient normative relations to material space, thus questioning ingrained power dynamics and perceptions of control over one's own or another body. By activating and deactivating inanimate forms, space, place, and the body become malleable to envision new possibilities.
