Ranran Fan is a visiting assistant professor of photography and 4D art. Fan’s exhibition invites viewers to explore both the physical aspects of the installation, as well as a hidden augmented reality that can be viewed with an iPad, as they navigate through the exhibition. “上天入地 Ends of the Earth” represents what the artist describes as “a metaphorical spell-casting ceremony” designed to gather energy to treat traumas, restore mental health, and fight against oppression. It also provides an alternative spatial and temporal dimension to contemplate death. Fan says, “This is where I find alternative solutions and a path to walk out of predicaments and desperation.”

A complimentary lecture with Fan will be held on April 14 at 5 p.m. at the Paulus Lecture Hall at the Willamette University College of Law at 245 Winter St. At 6:51 p.m. Fan and several students will give a performance in the Atrium Gallery at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art. A complimentary Tuesday gallery talk with the artist will take place on May 2 at 12:30 p.m.

Hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 12- 5 pm
