Upcoming ACE Events
Beginning Saturday, March 16th, in collaboration with the Office of Arts & Creative Engagement (ACE), the Sarratt Connector hallway will host a unique sculpture exhibit as part of a Vanderbilt Curb Creative Campus Innovation Grant project. Led by visual artist and writer Lori Anne Parker-Danley, the Identity Sculptures Project is a public art collaboration that examines the relationship between writing and art and the ways language and storytelling shape (and are shaped by) our bodies and identities. The exhibition consists of 11 sculptures and sculptural assemblages created by Parker-Danley in response to the poetic, fictional, and autobiographical writings of Vanderbilt faculty, students, and staff on the topic of “creative identities. The identity sculptures will be on display from March 16 – June 15, 2013.
