*The Vision Room is a space for a dialogue across disciplines in a process oriented exploration of thinking and doing. It is founded on the belief that imaginative, open interchange between fields, nurtures the risk-taking, deep thinking and imagination that lead to new and innovative vision. Performance artists, filmmakers, architects, sculptors, writers, theorists and others develop work in response to a shared bi-annual theme, meeting monthly to study, reflect on, show, inspire, and at times, open this process to the public.
