Work by Sarah Drury and Alison Crouse at Abington Art Center

Sarah Drury (ACG '07) and Alison Crouse (ACG '12) will be presenting media installations in Surface Tensions & Relational Paradigms, film and video projections that study the human body and its interactions with others and the environment. At the Abington Art Center (515 Meetinghouse Road, Jenkintown, PA) from January 14 through February 25.

Surface Tensions
On View January 14 – February 25

Artists: Razan Al Salah, Renée Sevier, Alisan Crouse, Mengxi Rao, Troy Holleman, Leslie Bush

Film and video projections engage contradictions between contrasting states of being — physical and virtual, interior and exterior. Ranging from a voyeuristic look into the body’s interior, through the layering of a street scene in Damascus onto a Philadelphia market, to the optics of how we glimpse a single film frame, these projects raise questions about the current state of our being.

Relational Paradigms
On View January 14 – February 25

Artist: Sarah Drury

Filling three adjacent walls, large-scale video projections track a single gesture as it is “passed” from person to person. Without drama, this act explores the kinetics of contact, rupture, connection and force. The faceless actions highlight small changes that form dynamic conditions within human relationship.
