The 1995 art exhibition, Re-Moving Myths is a series of site-based dance performances presented by Lewis & Clark’s theatre department, and features 21 students and guest artists Gregg Bielemeier and Katherine Petersen at the locations noted below. The art chosen for this year’s show asks viewers to let go of preconceived divisions based on gender, the separation of art from craft, audience from artist, institutions from community life. The exhibit features quilts, pottery, beadwork, sculpture, painting, photography, basketry, and other work by students, faculty, and a wide range of artists from throughout the Northwest. Faculty Art Curator: Joanne Mulcahy. Student Co-Chair Brooke Noli.
