The University of Tampa will present an artistic performance exploring space-time travel at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9, and Saturday, Dec. 10, at the Sykes Plaza on the UT campus. The event is free and open to the public.
“As a musical sculpture, it is a marvelous beacon of sound and light in the middle of the campus, and for this event it will serve as both a figurative conduit for the exploration of space-time travel and as a central hub around which — and through which — the student, faculty and guest artist collaborators pivot.”
The performances are the culmination of a semester-long project that has challenged students to think about how art and music can draw inspiration and purpose from science. Kenney’s work, which exists between the worlds of theoretical physics and artistically rendered science fiction, complements the students’ studies. Through striking mixed-media sculptures, coupled with performance art that invites audience engagement, Kenney will transport viewers on a surrealistic journey into the fantasy of space-time travel.
“The event will provide a memorable evening for all who pass through the portal to the other side,” Blackburn said.
