Alumni Weekend Featured Artist Performance: Ben Gould ('15 Painting)
The Waiting Room
Saturday, September 6 | 7 p.m.
Epperson Auditorium
During ArtSalon, Gould will debut The Waiting Room, a visceral live performance critiquing and reflecting on the medical industrial complex through a chaotic, hour-long choreography alongside a score of percussion and cello, built from the repetitive patterns of on-hold music.
