11:59

11:59 is when time reaches the edge. The past has gone, and the future has yet to begin. Everything hangs for a breath, yet time does not pause — it moves on, carrying hesitation with it. Even in a brief moment like this one, there is time to reflect.

Motion Studies — A Movement-Based Media Art Screening

Thank you to everyone who joined us for 𝓑𝓞𝓓𝓨 𝓕𝓡𝓔𝓠𝓤𝓔𝓝𝓒𝓘𝓔𝓢🕺 over the past month.

This screening brought together movement-based video works that approached choreography as a living language across digital space, ritual, popular culture, personal memory, and speculative imagination. Spanning performance documentation, experimental video, web-based practices, and music video, the program explored how bodies move through technology, labor, desire, identity, and collective rhythms.

Huge thank you to all the participating artists for sharing your works and visions:

Part I — April 2–15
• Sid and Geri
• Casey Kauffmann
• Freya Björg Olafson
• Jessica Valoris

Part II — April 16–30
• Swaeny Nina Kersaan
• Surabhi Saraf
• Sofía Córdova
• Adrian Pijoan

And thank you to everyone who came to watch, support, and spend time with the works.

The Stamp Gallery is pleased to present 𝔹𝕖𝕥𝕨𝕖𝕖𝕟 𝕊𝕚𝕘𝕟𝕒𝕝 𝕒𝕟𝕕 ℕ𝕠𝕚𝕤𝕖, an exhibition featuring artists Wednesday Kim and Joshua Prince. In their respective multidisciplinary practices, Kim and Prince apply technological methods and materials to build and rebuild connections—whether between the viewer and the artist, the conscious and the unconscious, the individual and the collective, or the human and the non-human. Rooted in processes of assemblage, these works acquire a monumental presence that transcends materiality itself: they invite the viewer to engage in a multisensorial encounter, reconstructing themselves from space into memory through the body.

Save the date!

Danielle Scott is a mixed-media assemblage artist who grew up in Jersey City, New Jersey. Her work expresses politically and socially charged messaging. She recently received the 2021 Artist of the Year from ESKFF, which is the Eileen S. Kaminksy Family Foundation Artist residency Program in Mana Contemporary, Jersey city.
A soft-spoken artist, Danielle has begun to use her art as a conduit to explore bold; fearless, thought-provoking work - work which draws its inspiration largely from her own journey and life experience. Her latest pieces are brazen offerings conveying the intense beauty and wretched pain the artist absorbs from the world around her. She creates using photo montage, found objects, paint, raw materials, old books and collage. From vivid paintings to piercing photography to striking sculptures, all of Danielle’s artistic offerings aim to arrest the viewer and transport them away from the pretentious and into a realm rooted in truth.

✨Opening reception: APRIL 23, 2026, 5PM
✨UMD GALLERY ART/SOCIOLOGY BLD

The University of Maryland Gallery presents Coordinate Loop, the 2026 thesis exhibition by Jeffery Hampshire and Julia Reising. Jeffery Hampshire works with lenses and screens. Julia Reising draws from materials rooted in Midwest life. Both artists examine the gap between memory and experience.

Hampshire treats the screen as a sculptural body, reconstructing fragmented visual information through printed images, video, and optical materials. His work translates past experience into unstable present encounters, where images shift and resist fixed form as viewers move.

Reising draws from materials familiar to her Midwestern upbringing, creating disorienting situations where familiar objects deviate from expected conditions. Her work foregrounds the instability of perception, as Coordinate Loop examines how objects remain entangled with a constantly shifting reality.

Coordinate Loop explores how objects remain entangled with a reality that is constantly shifting across time and perspective.
