DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: Interconnectivity=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artshound.com/event/detail/25801=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2009-07-09=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2009-08-14=0D=0A=0D=0AThe Houston Arts Alliance (HAA) presents the exhibition Interconnectivity. Featuring the work of Serena Lin Bush, Magsamen + Hillerbrand and Tish Stringer.=0D=0A=Interconnectivity is an exhibition themed around human emotion and is a video portrayal of human connection through the body, conversation and ordinary acts of human interaction. This is the first all video exhibition to take place in space125gallery. The exhibition will be on view through August 14, 2009. Opening reception will take place July 9, 2009 from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.=0D=0A=Serena Lin Bush's work Affinities is inspired by the emotional bond formed between two adopted sisters. Subtle plays of friction caused by the rubbing of skin against skin, cloth and hair project contagious repetitive motion. The dual screens interact with one another creating a visual parallel of events.=0D=0A=Magsamen + Hillerbrand's Love You to Death approaches connection through the psychological landscape that composes family. A mother and father are holding their son and daughter. The hold starts as a loving traditional portrait and eventually unfolds as forced and uncomfortably controlling. The piece raises questions about love, parenthood and the aging process.=0D=0A=Tish Stringer's Uprooted/Iqtila'  portrays human emotion to its fullest capacity, in all of its forms: fear, love, empathy and uncertainty. It is a portrait of humanity and through Stringer's keen eye for environments; the tactile elements of life seem to resonate from the screen. Through verbal accounts over tea, artists open up about their artwork, what moves them as artists and how the political climate of their nation impacts their lives.=0D=0A=Serena Lin Bush, Mary Magsamen, Stephan Hillerbrand and Tish Stringer are all Individual Artist Grantees. The Individual Artists Grant program represents just one of the many ways in which HAA supports Houston's artistic community. The City of Houston annually supports this and more than 200 additional arts grants.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:Opening Reception:=0D=0A=Thursday, July 9=0D=0A=6-8PM=0D=0A=Light refreshments=0D=0A==0D=0A=Regular Gallery Hours:=0D=0A=Mon-Fri 10am-4pm=0D=0A=and by appointment
