Cornering a Hare by Paige Phillips includes four performance based installations that are looped and informed by one another. The works revolve around a common theme: the reimagining of religious and folk traditions into a contemporary art practice. Pilgrimage, trance, meditation, and gestures found in the Catholic church, kawaii, and Renaissance iconography will be examined. The evening includes dance, performance, and visual art, and it explores what is the boundary between high art and folk art.
