Conversation Domes
Detroit-based artist Jessica Frelinghuysen has long held an interest in social spaces. In Conversation Domes, an installation that encapsulates both sound and vision, she invites us to step inside one such space and to inhabit the complex pathways of communication. In bringing attention to roadblocks that compete with our attempts to listen, find meaning, and be understood, Frelinghuysen disarms the viewer and opens a space for discovery, realization, and conversation. In the artist’s words: “This piece reflects just how hard it is to actually communicate . . . but in the end, something gets through.”
