UMBC's Visiting Artist series presents Laura Heit on March 14th, 5 - 6.30PM Fine Arts Recital Hall (on the 1st floor near the exit closet to the Engineering Building)
The Department of Visual Arts presents artist Laura Heit, a multidisciplinary artist who engages experimental animation, performance, installation, and writing. Disquieting and evocative, her work seamlessly crosses genres to unfold poetic visual narratives. Heit employs a strong handmade aesthetic, an irreverent sense of humor, drawing, puppetry, and animation, to bring together ideas and stories about ghosts, catastrophe, and invisibility. Screenings include Rotterdam IFF, Annecy, Hong Kong IFF, London IFF, Ann Arbor Film Festival (1997, 2012, 2015), Black Maria, Walker Art Center, MOMA, Millennium Film, and the Guggenheim Museum, REDCAT, Aurora Picture Show, Pacific Film Archive, and others.
Admission is free and open to the public.
