Mudd Gallery show: “Bound” by Nick Stahl
The new Mudd Gallery show is “Bound” by Nick Stahl. Nick says that “The act of binding reiterates the notion of ‘other’ and establishes a power struggle between the binder and the bound.” “Bound” is both an installation and a performance.
The opening reception for “Bound” will be held 6:00-8:00pm on Monday, May 3. The “Binding Performance” will take place on Tuesday, May 11 at 7:00pm.
