“What’s Going On Here?” is a three-part, immersive installation, featuring work by Linda Booth Sweeney, Linda Ziemba, and Jamie Collins, that transforms the Umbrella Arts Center into a living, breathing work of art— one that draws its energy from liminal spaces: vernal pools, backyard edges, cracks in city sidewalks… places where something unexpected is always about to happen.
🌤️ At the center of the outdoor installation, “L’arc” (front lawn, through June 28) operates as both structure and story vessel, a sculptural threshold that gathers visitors and draws them inward.
🦆 As you pass through, it becomes a point of narrative entry: a way into the world of “The Noisy Puddle” (front case, through June 28), where small, fleeting ecosystems reveal layered relationships, rhythms, and interdependence.
🪲 “Patio Life” (Wedge Gallery, May 29 - June 28) shifts the lens to a setting that unfolds just beyond our own doorsteps, in our own yard.
This evolving installation will include soundscapes, community conversations, children’s workshops, and unexpected moments of encounter—for anyone willing to look a little closer.
