Hybrid Arts Lab: The Performance of Making and the Industrial Design Winter Market
Dear Friends,
This week we saw the last few days of Joshua Edmond’s Hopkins Hall Gallery exhibition of photos in One Voice One Message: Black Lives Matter; the work will be on view online next week at UAS From Home along with a brief interview with Joshua Edmonds and Urban Arts Space intern, Genevieve Wagner. On October 24 at 4 PM, be sure to tune in for a conversation with Joshua Edmonds about Images and Power: Protest Photography and the Challenges of Representation as framed through the exhibition. Additional panelists include Daniel Marcus (Associate Curator of Exhibitions, Wexner Center for the Arts), Gina Osterloh (Assistant Professor, Department of Art) and Larry Williamson, Jr. (Director, Hale Black Cultural Center); the conversation will be moderated by Merijn van der Heijden, director of Urban Arts Space. Register for the webinar here.
Next week, from October 26-30 Hybrid Arts Lab will feature SURFACE/SKIN/SIGHT at Hopkins Hall Gallery; a collaborative effort lead by photography professor Gina Osterloh Advanced Photo and Advanced Sculpture student artists. The exhibition shares thematic components of re-contextualizing and fragmenting perceptions of the human body, exploring self-authorship, and personal expression.
We hope you will join us for these exhibitions and events next week in the gallery or online. Coming up next is the Performance of Making: Industrial Design Winter Market; see below for more information. Finally, Hybrid Arts Lab is now accepting proposals for Spring 2021, see below for more information!

During the Autumn 2020 semester, fourteen 3rd-year Industrial Design students have been hard at work experimenting with materials and ideas for their Industrial Design Studio Course. For this class, they have worked in groups to produce houseware products while keeping the needs of users, the demands of small-run productions, the constraints of a limited budget, and issues of sustainability in mind.
In working through their ideas, the students have also created videos chronicling these explorations of what hidden potentials could sleep in materials and processes for use in their final products. The Department of Design and Urban Arts Space have collaborated to create a virtual exhibition space for these videos and the work of the students, which you can view here at Performance of Making, Industrial Design Winter Market.
Even more excitingly, the products these students create will be available for sale at the Department of Design’s Third Annual Winter Market! This year, the event will be online, and at least 70 unique products will be available for purchase. Keep your eyes peeled for further updates as we get closer to the gift-giving season.
