ART NOW — Catherine Ross
Friday, Nov. 20, noon to 12:50 p.m., W570, Recital Hall
When her miniature dachshund tried to stop the movement of the ocean with his bark and an intent gaze, the seeds for the ‘Impossible Really!’ exhibit were sown. Currently exhibited at Casa, ‘Impossible Really!’ combines a narrowly framed video of ocean waves as they come into contact with the shore. The camera is positioned at a height of about a foot, the stature of a miniature dachshund. As part of the exhibit, Ross made 21 bronze dachshunds that cast their gaze upon the projected image of the ocean, on each other and the audience.
