The Salon at Material with Steven Chodoriwsky

​Join us for a cocktail hour at material gallery with a special guest presentation by Steven Chodoriwsky.

​This presentation explores the connections and slippages between design inquiry and performance practice. Steven will present new site-specific work related to an ongoing exhibition at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art and his design teaching activities. How does a body negotiate organizational affiliation with individual agency? What’s to be done with the tools, constraints, and risks a body has on hand?
