The show, in the Crowell and West galleries, brings together more than 60 works across a variety of media, including painting, printmaking, photography, robotic art, sculpture, installation and theatrical costume and set design.

Artists whose work is on display include Allison Conley, Laini Nemett, Fernando Orellana, Effie Rapant, Jack Shaefer and Rachel Stern.

An opening reception is set for Friday, Oct. 23, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

“Practices can be rehearsals and repetitions,” states a description of the exhibit. “Practices can be rituals, whether spiritual or mundane. Practices can be the refinement of material technique through the conjunction of hand, mind, and eye. Above all, practices are constant experimentation, restless elaboration and a devotion to process, not just product.”

A virtual tour of the exhibit can be found at this website.

The exhibit runs through November 22.
