Sculpture, Rick Dorff
Untitled
The sculpture reflects the anonymity of incarcerated individuals who are out of sight and mind in a system that tacitly supports the dehumanizing conditions of the institutions that store them. Lighting inside of the cell/cage is activated by external motion providing a connection to the life within, free and spontaneous communication.
Music, Joseph Del Ponte
A contemporary instrumental pianist with pop, classical, and jazz influences. Del Ponte creates improvised soundscapes that move with the mood of the space.
