January 4 - February 16

Lover / no reason

Plus/space Installation by Connie Fu

Opening Reception: Saturday, January 18,6:00-8:00pm

Connie Fu’s central artistic drive is characterized by her continued interest in connecting many modes of making and thinking. Using music, weaving, dance, puppetry and painting, the artist creates objects, performances, and text that interact within her installations. This way of integrating what may seem eclectic into a single, whole unit mirrors the artist’s concern with the multiplicity of the self and the capacity of humans to reach always farther into the unknown.

In the FiveMyles Plus/Space, Fu will build a site-specific installation juxtaposing woven, fabric works, and painted work.
