After a year of pain and tremendous loss, we turn to the architectural flights of fancy planned by Kentucky native Clay Lancaster. In a joint exhibition, the Warwick Foundation and the Kentucky College of Art and Design are proud to bring together the fanciful rural follies of Lancaster’s imagination with the urban follies of KyCAD students and alumni. While none of these fabulous architectural follies physically exists in the landscape, they nonetheless have the power to spark our dreams and hopes for the future, reimagining our surroundings, both rural and urban.

In-Between the Real and the Ideal—A choreography for “Alla Hornpipe” from Water Music is formed by the choreography of repeated gestures. The reflections create a partnership between image and music while expressing the nature of performance as choreographed movement of pose-to-pose gestures, or the conductor’s breaths drawn at certain lengths and depths between intervals of time. The work explores the connection between the real and the ideal, image and sound, object and subject, shadow and projection, such as a thing reflected on the surface of water.
