Four on the Floor

Zach Hill works across drawing, sculpture, and video to explore material identity, visual perception, and speculative utility. His practice moves fluidly between exhibition spaces and nightlife, producing installations and visuals for queer parties. For Four on the Floor, Hill constructs a hovering, obelisk-like multimedia triptych by layering gestural abstractions from his drawing practice with explorations in nightlife visuals. Tar paper—previously used as a projection mapping surface—is stapled chaotically to boards, then worked over with charcoal, pastel, ink, and encaustic, before being activated further with stage lights and projection. Accompanying video sequences created for underground queer nightlife events in Philadelphia are housed in a custom steel frame.

Kim Miller combines performance and video to investigate the dancefloor as a site of learning and social possibility. Drawing from performance art, dance, theater, and film, her work examines how gesture constructs and destabilizes the subject through a radical democratic framework. Inspired by theorist Sylvia Wynter, Miller explores social choreography—the ways bodies organize and move together in shared space. Her installation centers on a 3 × 5-foot illuminated dance floor sculpture paired with video screening and a 24-piece grid of diagrammatic drawings and choreographic scores that map gestures, timing, and relational movements, allowing the dancefloor to become a site where collective life and liberation can be rehearsed.
