This exhibition expands on the forthcoming issue of the artist-run journal Effects, organized around the motif of the hole. Holes draw our attention to the periphery, the edges of the visible, bringing to the fore what typically disappears into the margin. Through rips and shadows, enclosures and erasures, the included artworks address transience, destructive violence, and lost histories, while also evoking the nascent formation of as-yet-unknown patterns for meeting the problems of living — with ourselves, with one another, and with absence.Featuring work by Noel Anderson, Milano Chow, Mary Helena Clark, Clementine Keith-Roach, Lakshmi Luthra, Eric N. Mack, Nour Mobarak & Jeffrey Stuker, Christopher Page, Paul Pfeiffer, Adam Putnam, Larissa Sansour & Søren Lind, Paul Sietsema, and Patricia Treib.Opening reception Wednesday, September 24, following the 4:30pm Art Lecture.Curated by Lakshmi Luthra, Associate Professor of Art and Film & Media StudiesMore information at https://www.cliffordgallery.org/holes/*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors.

This presentation examines links between Harold Arlen’s music from “The Wizard of Oz” (1939) and Stephen Schwartz’s music for “Wicked” (2003), especially focusing on the relationship between “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from "The Wizard of Oz" and the ‘Unlimited’ theme in "Wicked". We will learn about the ways in which this theme is musically transformed across "Wicked", in a way that reflects in music the plot onstage. We will then look at other musical relationships between the two, and the ways in which they create a sort of musical 'worldbuilding' in the world of Oz.Presenter: Kyle Hutchinson is currently a visiting assistant professor of Music at Colgate University. He has published widely on various topics, including nineteenth-century chromatic harmony, Richard Strauss, musical form, and Broadway Megamusicals. His first book, Processual Tonality and the Psychoacoustics of Chromaticism" will be published this October.
