A performance-lecture led by artist and magician Jeanette Andrews. Magic performance combines with live-drawn overhead projections and philosophical conversation to investigate how and why we perceive and believe. Andrews creates interactive, surreal performance vignettes utilizing elegant, yet common items combined with sleight of hand causing viewers to question the dynamic nature of perception. This program combines interactive magic with Andrews structural analysis of the scientific, social and philosophical underpinnings of why we believe in the seemingly impossible. “Project” has been presented to sold out audiences at the National Arts Club and Pageant in NYC and at Yale. New York Review of Architecture heralds the work as having the audience “completely enthralled.” Andrews seeks to create work that showcases the complexity of perception and cognition. She has also presented for the Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and Harvard. She has been praised by PBS, the Chicago Tribune, the New York Times and Artnet says, “Andrews’s avant-garde approach to magic transforms it into performance art.” Andrews is the most recent Visiting Artist for MIT.
