Video Choreo

Video Choreo, the University of Hawai‘i Art Gallery’s opening exhibition of the fall season, brings together four emerging artists whose video works explore major concepts in dance and choreography. 
 Each artist works in diverse media, but makes use of video and moving image to 
capture sublime, playful, rhythmic and mesmerizing aspects of the varied performative subjects they explore and document. Featured artists are Shaun Gladwell (Australia), Rashaad Newsome (USA), Yukihiro Taguchi (Japan, Germany), and Ignacio Uriarte (Spain, Germany). The show runs from August 26 - September 21.
