Hanner Hall art exhibit through Sunday
Four OSU students have collaborated with visiting artist Jorge Bachman on an exhibit
in Hanner Hall dubbed “Fading Open: The Mind Recovers in Silence,” which is free and
open to the public through this Sunday, April 27.
The exhibit uses found sounds to create an experience representing the spectrum of
emotions from despair to hope. Visitors will explore a labyrinth-like installation,
moving from room to room on the third floor of Hanner, encountering various sounds
that students have collected and edited through the semester.
The exhibit is open for free to the public from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily through this
Friday, April 25. It is also open Saturday and Sunday, April 26 and 27, from 11 a.m.
to 4 p.m.
Bachman, a Swiss-Colombian artist who collects recordings exploring the sounds of
everyday life, has been working with the sound recordings of the late Dale McKinney,
a former associate professor of art at OSU, who was also a respected painter, printmaker,
and sculptor. Bachman recently unveiled a site-specific multi-media piece using the
recordings at the Postal Plaza Gallery. It will remain on display in the downtown
museum for the rest of the semester alongside McKinney’s own kinetic sculptures, currently
on view in “Sharing a Journey,” the OSU Museum of Art’s inaugural exhibition
