Artist Eric-Paul Riege presents 'ojo|-|ólǫ́,' a new exhibition at Brown University's David Winton Bell Gallery that combines fiber sculpture and performance art to explore Diné (Navajo) mythology and culture. The show, curated by Nina Bozicnik and Thea Quiray Tagle, runs through December 7 and features pieces borrowed from Brown's Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology, which Riege felt were 'buried alive' and needed to be activated. Riege encourages visitors to touch the works and incorporates dance performances, including a recent opening where he carried a humanlike figure named Hólǫ́ through the gallery.
