PAST EVENTS
A (park)ing day event to make connections and celebrate togetherness—including performance by N. Scott Johnson.
N. Scott Johnson will perform a special live accompaniment to Hammer’s 2018 film Evidentiary Bodies in an evening program organized in honor of legendary artist and filmmaker Barbara Hammer (1939–2019).
The centerpiece of the new exhibition is Evidentiary Bodies, an immersive, three-channel video installation that draws imagery from previous works to poignantly synthesize the artist’s life in film and her life with cancer. The project was supported by a multiyear Wexner Center Artist Residency Award. Cellist and architect N. Scott Johnson, who collaborated with Hammer on the work’s score, accompanies the piece live at the May 31 Summer Exhibitions Preview.
St. Vincent’s Project, Novenas for a Lost Hospital, was inspired by those who dedicated their life to care and those who were lost. Guided by the character of St. Elizabeth Seton of the Sisters of Charity, the piece theatrically explores the 161-year history of the hospital.
