Details

Of Place and Passage: Actions and Images by Stephan Koplowitz explores the creative practice of internationally acclaimed choreographer and interdisciplinary artist Stephan Koplowitz, whose work transforms architecture, landscapes, and public spaces into sites of movement, perception, and encounter. Bringing together photography, video, installation, and archival materials, the exhibition reveals the interconnected processes through which performance is conceived, documented, and remembered.

Rather than treating photography and moving image as records of completed performances, Koplowitz uses them as integral choreographic tools—ways of observing, composing, and reimagining the relationships between bodies, place, and time. Across the exhibition, visitors encounter works that trace the evolution of ideas from intimate studies of movement to ambitious, large-scale performances unfolding across cities, waterways, and architectural landmarks.

Organized around themes of seeing, repetition, reflection, and the choreography of public space, Of Place and Passage invites audiences to experience movement beyond the stage. The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to explore the breadth of Koplowitz’s artistic practice while considering how performance continues to shape the ways we perceive our built and natural environments. Through image, motion, and spatial experience, the exhibition encourages viewers to look closely, move thoughtfully, and discover choreography embedded within the everyday.

The Sordoni Art Gallery is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Tues. - Fri. from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sat. from noon to 5 p.m. The gallery is closed on Sundays, Mondays, and University holidays.
