MCTAVISH CHANCEThrough 10/28/18 | Sax gallery

Kathy McTavish is a composer and media artist who specializes in creating interactive, multi-channel video and sound environments that are released online, in gallery spaces, and behind performance events. McTa-vish created Chance, a site-specific installation for the Tweed Museum’s Sax gallery. It is a synergetic installa-tion composed of six networked machine quartets that combines code, image, and sound to create a cross-sen-sory experience that seeks to investigate what it “feels” like to inhabit a multitheaded system. a landscape of painted walls and multi-channel sound encloses the view-er. Choreographed by code, a circle of machine quartets investigates chance, emergence, friction, resonance, and change.

McTavish is offering Chance on Tap on the third Tuesday of the month.

artists of the 20th century. Featuring works by Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Käthe Koll-witz, henri Matisse, Oskar Kokoschka, Max Weber, Salvador Dali, and Otto Dix, this ex-hibition serves as a tool to explore the vast representations of the various “-isms” in art movements that blossomed at the beginning of the 20th century. Collectively, these works express the radical attitude toward art that resulted in the replacement of 19th century realism in favor of expressionism and ab-straction that more accurately reflected the zeitgeist of the Modern Era.

We are offering a Gallery Talk with Dr. Sara Blaylock, assistant Professor in art history, UMD on Saturday, January 27, 2018 from 2 to 3 pm.
