AutoUpdate Exhibition Reception: 5-8pm
Performance by Maggie Lawson at 7pm in the Carnegie Theater

Free and open to the public, no reservations required.

About the Exhibition: The exhibition features 44 artists from Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana who work at the intersection of photography and new media, both technically and conceptually. The exhibition addresses digital technology’s impact on photography and video, and its disruption of art making and news cycles in a media obsessed world.

About the Performance: Maggie Lawson is creating a new performance-video work that will premiere at the AutoUpdate reception on October 4. Go Home is a performative lecture that works both as a problematic directive and a sacred pilgrimage through generations of the artists’ chosen and anointed family. She culls images and tweets from the news cycle’s daily barrage to demonstrate the personal as political. Lawson will use her ties to Cincinnati and her community’s lineage to examine how possible and improbable coming home actually is.
