5:30: Performance by VisKosity Dance Co. To accompany the exhibition Tim Whiten: Tools of Conveyance, the CU Art Museum invited VisKosity Dance Co, a Boulder-based dance collective founded in 2019 by artistic collaborators Keith Haynes and Vivian Kim, to choreograph and perform an original dance. Inspired by Whiten’s interest in domestic activities and childhood play, Haynes and Kim present a meditation on the meanings and memories of home.
