Sarah Oppenheimer New Installation at Rice gallery
Between 16 September and 5 December 2010, Sarah Oppenheimer will work on a new installation at Rice gallery (Rice University Art Gallery, Houston, Texas). The new piece will move beyond her existing typology of holes focussig on the way light enters the gallery space through the buildings façade of exterior windows, an entry foyer area, and the gallerys front glass wall. By controlling the light that passes through these spaces, Oppenheimer's installation will create surprising views for gallery visitors that will derive from glass natural ability to be a window or a highly reflective surface depending upon the lighting conditions. As Oppenheimer explains, "I have not yet generated a directed opening (a hole) that is at once mirror and window by using an existing curtain wall (the front glass wall). This is what I plan to do at Rice."

JEN DENIKE at MOMA, New York
Jen DeNike will present the world premier of her performance ballet, *Scrying*, at MOMA. Museum of Modern Art, New York on January 12, 2010, 7:30-9:30pm. Scrying is a non-narrative performance ballet conceived and directed by New York-based artist Jen DeNike and choreographed by Melissa Barak.
Inspired by George Balanchine's architectural forms and structural movements, SCRYING emphasizes repetitive patterns and gestures that translate the iconic ballerina image, merging contemporary art and classical ballet. "Scrying" is the act of divination or obtaining spiritual visions by peering into water, a mirror, or another reflective surface; the ballerinas engage in a scrying ritual of their own, transforming an architectural space into one of ethereal vision.
