Spanning multiple floors of the Granoff Center for the Creative Arts, the 46th Annual Student Exhibition showcases a variety of artworks, ranging from sculptures to mixed mediums. Last Friday, the Brown Arts Institute welcomed community members to the gallery’s opening reception.

The exhibit opened on Jan. 31 and is on display through Friday, Feb. 13.

The exhibition is a visual depiction of the tight-knit nature of the community following the events of Dec. 13.

“Dance like nobody’s watching” was always sound advice for anyone hesitant to let loose at a club, concert or wedding. But in a world where everyone has a camera in their pocket, it’s a tough sell. ⁠

The new rule: “Dance like anybody could be watching and that footage will follow you forever,” said Sydney Skybetter, a choreographer and associate professor at Brown University.⁠

In the exhibition the sun has its own drum, currently on view at the Cohen Gallery, Granoff Center for the Creative Arts at Brown University in Providence, RI, sound becomes more than vibration, more than metaphor, more than a material that only one artist in the show physically uses.

Ensemble Theatre at Brown performed the show, based on the eponymous novel by Stephen King and its subsequent adaptations, in mid-November.

Eiden Spilker’s adventure turning a 100-year-old elm tree into art was “sort of happenstance,” he said, or perhaps a series of happenstances.

After the center’s first year, some student groups said they were unable to book the space for performances.

“Dance in zero gravity completely transforms how we think about choreography and performance,” says Sydney Skybetter, the founder of CRCI and director of the Brown Arts Institute at Brown University.

The show, ‘Between Past and Future,’ is on display in the Granoff Center for the Creative Arts through Dec. 12.
