UBS 12 × 12: New Artists/New Work:
Julia Oldham

July 8 – 30, 2006

Julia Oldham performs the habitual movements and gestures of bees, moths, and other insects in her mesmerizing videos to draw a connection between human and insect modes of navigation, communication, and social organization. The instinctual movements of insects become dance-like and rhythmic when performed by the artist.
