CWU Exhibition Explores Nomadic Lifestyle

CWU Master of Fine Arts student Brock Jensen is hosting his solo exhibition titled "Illuminating the Brute," March 6-10 in Gallery 231 in Randall Hall at Central Washington University, according to a news release.

An opening reception is planned for 5-7 p.m. Monday in the gallery.

Jensen said his nomadic lifestyle is a major influence for his performance-based artwork, which explore his mental and physical capacity for enduring pain, suffering, isolation and physical exertion, according to the release.

Photo Above: Jensen completed this performance in the Salt Flats of Utah--on the hottest day in July temperatures reached into the hundreds as he pulled the fourteen-hundred-pound concrete cylinder through the barren white planes. The performance lasted thirty-one minutes, a time in which Jensen was able to pull the object for just over one mile before callapsing in exhaustion.
