OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | Umphlett’s latest exhibit “Elements of Degradation,” will be showcased at the Emery Flex Space Gallery through March 8. The exhibition presents kinetic and performative large-scale sculptural works that explore themes of life, time, systems, service, mechanism, offspring, cravings, currency, blood and nourishment. Umphlett’s performance becomes a test of endurance for both artist and viewer as previous works have had the artist dangling over cars, somersaulting through the air or physically connected to a large, electrically charged platter.
