Connecting aviation, evangelicalism, education and anthropology, the work incites the viewer to consider the nature of global distribution – in terms of technology and belief.
The project consists of four flight simulators built-by-hand. Each unit is comprised of two diverse sculptural forms: part mock-cockpit, part free-standing screen. Together they become a network and an interface that, although a mere approximation, remain functional as a vehicle for experiencing silent, imaginary flight.
Prior to the exhibition reception, Stevenson and anthropologist Jon Bialecki will have a conversation about the works in the exhibition and Bialecki's research interests.
Opening reception: Saturday, April 2, 6 – 8 pm
Conversation with Michael Stevenson and Jon Bialecki, 4 pm
