CTįacilitated on Zoom and livestreamed on the School of Art Gallery, University of Manitoba YouTube channel Touching leaves traces, often more lasting than originally imagined, but the absence of touch builds both anticipation and desire.įeaturing work by Ella Dawn McGeough, Katie Lyle and Gabrielle L’Hirondelle Hill, Dancing with Tantalus engages qualities of contact-between people, surfaces, and objects-to examine haptic intimacy and explore the causal relationship between artworks and the many structures that make contact with them-physically, intellectually, emotionally, institutionally, and historically. As punishment for his crime, Tantalus was made to stand in a clear pool where water receded before he could drink, underneath trees laden with fruit that forever escaped his grasp. While contact may signal a crisis, its lack also torments, like the aching feeling when something lies just out of grasp.Ĭonsider the Greek myth of Tantalus, who stole ambrosia, nectar, and the gods’ secrets of immortality for his people. However, all marks, all instances of contact, eventually appear. When I do make contact, the effects are not immediate-this delay temporarily alleviates my fears. I am frightened that the marks they make will last too long, be too big, cause unpredictable outcomes.
They feel huge, like mitts that will cover, crush, or make a mess.
