In a collaboration with students of University of Utah’s School of Dance, artist David Habben, a Art and Art History MFA student at the U, wraps up his gallery, “Be Somewhere,” depicting the energy and movement of dancing.
It started out as Habben’s desire to simply experience the School of Dance on a visit to one of their studios; but Habben’s brief experience morphed into a collaboration and later an actual project with the dancers, resulting in the series of abstract drawings and audio that make up this exhibit.
The literal title of the exhibit, “Be Somewhere” is a reference to the mental presence of a dancer, who must be being present and aware during their dance and performance.
