Opening Reception for Endless Gestures of Goodwill
Jan. 21, 2015: 6:00–8:00 PM
Join the Mills College Art Museum and artists Sheldon B. Smith and Lisa Wymore for the opening reception of Endless Gestures of Goodwill.
Created by Sheldon B. Smith and Lisa Wymore, Endless Gestures of Goodwill is an attempt at making a never-ending dance. This two-channel video work utilizes 250 separate video clips of short movement statements inspired by folk dances, edited together by custom software in a manner that implies continuity. In their work together, Smith, Visiting Assistant Professor at Mills College, and Wymore, Associate Professor of Dance and Director of the Dance Program at UC Berkeley, create funny and provocative pieces that are deeply human, odd, rigorous, and inviting all at the same time.
