Exploring the relationship of memory to body, materials, and place, as well as desire for harmony, peace, joy and humanity, “Between Earth and Sky” presents a site-specific mixed media live performance. A celebratory walking procession begins at the UC Davis Art Building and arrives at the Manetti Shrem Museum of Art Plaza, where the artist and some of her students perform a ceremonial game with objects created during Grokhovsky’s time at UC Davis as Visiting Professor in The California Studio: Manetti Shrem Artist Residencies. Between Earth and Sky concludes in a staged tableau and a formation of a return procession.
