Currents: Call & Response

Abstract

The theme for Call & Response 2016 is CURRENTS, in conversation with the College of Visual and Performing Art’s 100th Meridian Project, an interdisciplinary multimedia arts and science project investigating drought and the American West. Call & Response: a collaboration between writers and visual artists, in which one calls and one responds. The result is a set of paired works, resonating with each other, demonstrating the interplay of artistic media, and speaking of our times. In 2009, Susan Tichy and Helen Frederick curated an annual exhibition in collaboration between the MFA program in creative writing and the School of Art. The now annual exhibition has been a themed Call and Response since 2010.
