This interesting exhibition is comprised of two films and a digital projection featuring silent, hypnotic loops that bring to life different objects, images and history that casts each in a new light.

The museum's darkened Forum Gallery will be animated by three artists’ works that draw on varied cultural artifacts: archival photography from the Great Depression ("Punctured" by William E. Jones), a centuries-old Italian folk dance originally created as a cure for poisonous spider bites ("Tarantism" by Joachim Koester), and artworks on display in a museum ("Flash In The Metropolitan" by Rosalind Nashashibi and Lucy Skaer). In each, the artist employs subtly choreographed movements to expose and alter cultural, perceptual and historical circumstances.
