An early work by filmmaker Michael Snow titled "Jazz Band" is the first piece in the Corbett vs. Dempsey exhibition "Eye and Ear".

To get to an exhibition on the fourth floor means experiencing the entirety of the Museum of Surgical Science at a glance while climbing the historic lakeside mansion’s marble staircase. In doing so, one must pass cases of antique medical equipment and view displays of ancient and mid-century human deformities before reaching Jason Lazarus’s solo show Congenital: Grafts (open through January 21).

There is something about performance, the wait for it to begin, the anticipation of the climactic event, and the audience interaction, all of which cannot be replicated in the environment of the still visual art exhibit. The same thing is true of fashion shows. When the music started at Fusion Project's fashion show, Modification, the audience huddled around the catwalk, feeling the excitement from behind the curtain before it exploded on to the stage.
