Pozen Center Gala
Opening Bash for the Robert and Elizabeth Pozen Center for Interrelated Media
On Saturday evening, October 23, 2004, the college hosted a formal dedication
and fundraiser for the newly renovated Robert and Elizabeth Pozen Center
for Interrelated Media. This wonderful event involved the work of many:
current students, SIM alumni, faculty and staff. The evening’s festivities
featured installations by alumni Christian Marclay (SIM ’80) and
Gail Wight (SIM ’88), performances and video installations by current
SIM students, a fashion show of alumni work, and an Iron Pour in the Courtyard.
The Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM) is the earliest interdisciplinary
department of MassArt and one of the most innovative areas of study at
the college, where student and faculty experiment with mixing different
media and genres. Founded in 1970 by Professor Harris Barron, SIM has
a tradition of educating students in cutting-edge performance, installation,
sound art, and increasingly, in explorations of emerging technologies
and mixed media.
