Artist Reception: Rebecca Weisman & Lida Winfield

July 1 to August 13, 2016

Skin Ego: an exploration between boundaries, nature and the imaginary

Rebecca Weisman is a Vermont based video installation artist whose work uses body, performance, site specificity, and the natural world to explore hidden or psychological dimensions of reality. Known for both her single-channel videos, and large-scale video installations, she weaves together ideas about the body, gender, psychoanalysis, landscape, and non-human life. Her installations use video, sound, and sculptural objects to tell deconstructed stories that are often fragmented, process-based, and rich with free-associations.

Lida Winfield is a Vermont based dance artist.   She develops and creates dances that are quirky, provocative, and physically honest. Lida challenges herself  and her audiences to participate in dance as an open dialogue. Her dances tell stories, ask questions, explore limits, and celebrate beauty in what is awkward, raw, and vulnerable. She is inspired by the human capacity to cope, to imagine and to transform. Her work is informed by wilderness, socioeconomic divides, disabilities, access, the search for place or home, the magical and the quiet details of everyday life.
