Brenna McBride, the Staff Writer for the Communications Department, asked us for a couple of quotes to include in a piece she’s writing for the Faculty News.  Here’s what we delivered, with a few additional edits:

“We hope the title of the show, Imaginative Feats Literally Presented, guides our visitors’ approach to the work.  The pieces—which utilize original and found materials, including words and images from public sources—call upon us to imagine that everyone and everything will be ok, that we will protect ourselves, our loved ones, that we can justify our actions and measure our losses.  We want viewers to hear this call yet refrain from heeding it; hear it but reflect on how it would recruit them to join in, consent, believe, cheer, and empathize.”  —Jeanne C.
