The Hive is a group art show that will be taking place at the newly renovated Foundry, starting on May 9th at 6pm. There will be a variety of works shown, ranging from video installation, mixed media, illustration to sculpture and photography. This show is an amalgamation of the inspiration and vision of several local Bozeman artists who bring with them their diverse backgrounds
and skills.

The basement of the Foundry will be transformed into a screening space for a one night only showing of a new video installation by filmmaker Vandana Sood-Giddings. This piece focuses on concepts around new life, the postpartum space and Buddhist and Hindu notions around ‘Samasara’ or ‘Maya’ –the illusionary world we occupy.


The main gallery will feature works from Michelle Hall, Heather Wagner, Shane Johnson, Zach Hoffman, Louis Still Smoking, Emma Laatsch, Anica Lees and Brandon Olterman. MSU visiting artist Zach Hoffman will be presenting a series of Gelatin prints about actions, desires, memory and imagination and if they can be translated into binary language. Mixed-media artist Shane Johnson will be presenting a new series based on collages coupled with digital sound bites portraying a childs’ perspective of the future.
