ART EXHIBITS, PRESENTATIONS

The Morris Museum, 6 Normandy Heights Road, Morristown hosts New York City-based artist and costume maker Erik Bergrin’s fiber sculpture installation through Sunday, July 10. A student of Buddhist philosophy, Bergrin explores the transience of the human body and the eternity of the mind in this new collection of work, the museum said. The exhibition takes its name from the eight dissolutions, a Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice that visualizes one’s mortality in the recurring cycle of death and rebirth on the path to enlightenment. The costumes are entirely handsewn, made from fabrics created by Bergrin using traditional techniques such as weaving and felting, as well as grown from unusual materials such as seaweed, fermented tea, and crystallizations. Some include integrated drums and rattles, the museum said. A video monitor documents a performance with the costumes making musical sounds with each movement. The exhibition is curated by the Morris Museum’s Ronald T. Labaco, Director of Exhibitions and Collections/Chief Curator, and Michelle Graves, Curatorial Assistant.
