The Drifting Encyclopedia is an assemblage of American oddities, scientific and historical ephemera, questionable accounts and implausible representations thereof. Part Victorian cabinet of curiosities, part roadside attraction, this immersive art installation houses exhibits that echo the themes of unlikely connections and contemplates the actual, illusory and anomalous nature of love. Created by

Zach Morris in collaboration with Elizabeth Carena, Tom Pearson, and Kryssy Wright.

Undercurrents & Exchange is a rumination on the conundrum of love, infatuation and connection in modern America, manifested in a series of lunch-hour performances. Each day artists present a new dance grappling with improbable relationships and unearthing the hidden, interpersonal undercurrents of our daily routines. These daily dances are episodic and will culminate on July 23 when they are performed together to reveal an underlying web of meaning. Undercurrents & Exchange is created in correspondence with The Drifting Encyclopedia, an art exhibition in the WFC Courtyard Gallery. Created by Tom Pearson & Zach Morris with additional choreography by Jennine Willett, Marissa Nielsen-Pincus, and Tara O'Con. Performed daily by Pearson, Willett, Nielsen-Pincus, O'Con and guest artists.
