Javanese Gamelan Heather MacLachlan, Director Piano Ensemble Eric Street, Director Early Music Ensemble Samuel N. Dorf, Director Julia Mintzer, Artist-in-Residence with Dayton Opera, Guest Director Installation Art in the Wintergarden Michael Casselli, Instructor Theresa Behrens Andrew Calvin Breann Gabel Anne Gerker Jesse Helmers Kelly Merecicky Sean Montgomery Donald Rambacher Carrie Sexton The work being presented by the students in the Installation Art Site project is an investigation into site specific projects. The work takes into consideration the physical and contextual meaning of site specificity and is a reflection on the affect that the space has had on the artists involved both as architecture and as a site of public interaction. The intent is to engage the space and transform it though the use of materials that specifically make use of light and sound, and present the viewer with the idea that art does not necessarily have to be about an object that is viewed but can exist as an idea and as an experience. 15
