Visitors to the Contemporary Art Galleries are used to finding interesting and thought-provoking exhibits by artists working in a variety of media. The gallery\u2019s newest exhibition, \u201cCrosstalk,\u201d breaks new ground by turning the gallery into a pseudo movie theater.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrosstalk\u201d presents the work of four internationally renowned artists who work in video and feature music as fine art content. A video from each artist will be shown in the gallery for one week, essentially creating a solo exhibition for each, through Dec. 14.<\/p>\n

CAG curator Barry Rosenberg says his goal with the exhibition is to spark dialogue across the arts, since the videos combine visual art, performance, and music, the genres that encompass the scope of academic focus in School of Fine Arts at UConn.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m always interested in working with other departments,\u201d says Rosenberg, noting that CAG exhibitions in recent years that have been tied to ornithology research, literature, and puppetry. \u201cEach one of the four uses music or presents music in a very different way.\u201d<\/p>\n
