Learn from artist Hope Ginsburg, Director of the Film/Video Studio Program Jennifer Lange, and Studio Editor Alexis McCrimmon in this discussion about their work on the Meditation Ocean exhibition.

Currently on view in our galleries, Meditation Ocean features a six-channel video installation that presents an immersive ocean environment in which meditating scuba divers breathe along with aquatic wildlife. For this special evening, experience the work in the galleries and then go behind the scenes with participating artists and the exhibition’s curator to discover how it was developed, produced, and edited in collaboration with the Wexner Center’s Film/Video Studio. The speakers will illuminate the process, discuss the importance of lifelong learning and inquiry,  share in moments of mindfulness, and participate in a Q&A with the audience after the conversation.
