When: On view until Sept. 30

It So Happened is a colorful collection of moving-image works that unveil their own making. Each of these works takes on a different approach to image-making that blurs the lines between technological and hand-processed methods. Hope Tucker processes cyanotypes in the desert sand as a narrative antidote to radiation exposure for downwinders in Utah Canyon, Sabine Gruffat laser-cut individual frames of 35mm filmstrips, Alicia Little archives the material becomings of impromptu sculptures, Lynn Kim recreates a dream through hand-drawn animation and Jacklyn Brickman, Kelsey Paschich and Kevin Abbott document a collaborative performance.
