Organized as a series of “instances” in a process of accumulation, each instance in Season Two: Follow the Mud is accompanied by an installation and activated by performances, screenings, and dialogs both at Beeler Gallery and beyond. Through voices and sounds, objects, spaces, images, movements, and text, we accumulated and uncovered hidden, suppressed, and forgotten histories in art, architecture, and politics, in order to allow individual subjectivities and personal narratives to re-emerge and intersect. The gallery remains open to the public between the instances. Various solo artist projects circulate and intersect as the gallery footprint expands throughout the five-month long season.
