Exhibition | Linda Brenner: Understory
11 a.m.-8 p.m., Holtzman MFA Gallery, Center for the Arts Room 2040
Brenner’s sculptures express the inherent structure and order found in nature. The proportions and compositions are
organized using geometry derived from mathematical formulae. Concern for craftsmanship and its relationship to
process is evident in her figures, many of which are repurposed city trees that now take on a new life as artworks and
remembrances of the places from which they fell. The sculptures remain, like a garden, works in progress—cumulative,
rearrangeable and reworkable.

Wave 11222
7:00 p.m., Dryer MFA Lab, Center for the Arts
Wave 11222 utilizes narrative storytelling through solo performance as a method to highlight individual stories within
the larger cultural context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing from long-form interview data collected in Spring 2024,
Wave 11222 blends the narratives of grief activists who have lost loved ones to COVID-19, autoethnography, and
theoretically informed cultural critique to respond to the question: How does activism and coalitionality emerge from
death and mourning? As a solo performance project, Wave 11222 is an accessible entry point for an audience to openly
engage conversations about death, dying, and the lasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic especially within poor,
working-class, and other marginalized communities. Engaging cultural memory and public accountability through the
stories of the participants and the performer, Wave 11222 makes it clear that not only is the pandemic not over, but we
must be accountable for the rippling repercussions of the damage done. Through these stories we not only keep their
memories alive but begin to develop a deeper understanding of the depth of grief from COVID-19.
