Boxed in the Box

This April, be sure to swing by the Wexner Center for the Arts to catch Boxed, a series of video shorts by CCAD adjunct professor Melissa Vogley Woods that sees her going big — really big — by inverting the scale of the Wexner Center’s architecture, with the human foot serving as a metaphor for the body moving around the Wex’s iconic grid. Boxed, commissioned by the Wex, is a continuation of the multidisciplinary artist’s Polychrome Suite, which explores and reacts to exhibition spaces, using the body as sculpture and object to play with scale, light, placement, pace and feel. See a collection of clips from Polychrome Suite here.

Visitors can experience Boxed for free any day in April during Wexner Center regular hours, but you’ll want to be sure to set aside time for a closing reception at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 30, as part of Ohio Shorts, the Wex’s annual festival celebrating Ohio-made films and filmmakers. (Vogley Woods’ work was featured in the one-day festival last year.) In the meantime, you can find more work from Melissa Vogley Woods on her website and on Vimeo.
