It is part of Moulton’s long\-running video project Whispering Pines, which began in 2002 as a collaboration with composer Nick Hallett\. At the center of both the broader project and this specific work is Cynthia, Moulton’s semi\-autobiographical alter ego—an anxious homebody surrounded by New Age healing products and wellness paraphernalia who is suddenly transported to stranger, more transcendent realms\.  - [Alice Pixley Young: Half Life](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/exhibition/alice-pixley-young-half-life/): Cincinnati\-based artist Alice Pixley Young draws inspiration from many sources, including formal gardens, geology, deep time, resource extraction, the nuclear age, and the ecological history of Ohio\. Young’s installation at the Akron Art Museum forms an immersive environment featuring new works in video, glass, paper, and light\. Her layered landscapes dramatize the entanglements of time, land, geology, and biodiversity\. Visitors are invited to use this space to step outside their normal routines and think about time on a variety of scales\. Young engages with several different time spans\. The Ordovician fossil beds in southern Ohio contain numerous fossils of invertebrates that lived in a shallow tropical ocean 450 million years ago\. Today, visitors to the region can easily find these fossils in riverbeds\. - [Barbara Kasten: Threshold](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/exhibition/barbara-kasten-threshold/): Barbara Kasten: Threshold includes both new work and career\-spanning selections by one of photography's most innovative practitioners, presented across two interconnected sites at the Akron Art Museum: a sculptural installation in the Beatrice Knapp McDowell Grand Lobby and a survey of photography and video in the Fred and Laura Bidwell Gallery\. - [Naudline Pierre: May the Light Reach You](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/exhibition/naudline-pierre-may-the-light-reach-you/): Naudline Pierre conjures fantastical worlds full of movement, transformation, and emotion\. Her artwork features airy figures among delicate, jewel\-toned washes of color, swirling lines, and skillful application of paint or ink, as well as adventurous experimentation with metal\. The content of Pierre’s work is deeply intimate, with a pantheon of female spirits conveying an impressive range of expression—from anger to resilience, tenderness, and more\. She calls on viewers to imagine their way into her unfamiliar realities, and thereby to imagine how their own reality might also change and grow\. - [Idea Machine by CHIAOZZA](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/exhibition/idea-machinechiaozza/): Meet CHIAOZZA, who will kick off a new era at the Museum with the first interactive installation in the new J\. M\. Smucker Co\. Idea Machine space, opening this fall\. Art museums have traditionally been places where visitors look at carefully arranged works on walls and objects on pedestals and in glass cases\. But the Akron Art Museum is reimagining that experience with the Idea Machine by inviting direct physical interaction with artwork, signaling a shift in how audiences might encounter contemporary art in Akron\. CHIAOZZA, the collaborative practice of Adam Frezza and Terri Chiao, approaches Idea Machine as a space where making and thinking happen simultaneously, dissolving the boundary between viewer and creator\.   ## Snippets - [Maza Napin Dance Troupe](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/akron_snippets/maza-napin-dance-troupe/) - [Shana Moulton: Meta/Physical Therapy](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/akron_snippets/shana-moulton-meta-physical-therapy/) - [D@D 2026](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/akron_snippets/dd-2026/) - [Barbara Kasten: Threshold](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/akron_snippets/barbara-kasten-threshold/) - [Idea Machine:CHIAOZZA](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/akron_snippets/idea-machinechiaozza/) ## Categories - [Exhibition](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/category/exhibition/) - [Uncategorized](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/category/uncategorized/) - [Akron Art Museum](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/category/akron-art-museum/) - [Art on the Go](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/category/art-on-the-go/) - [Studio Hours](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/category/studio-hours/) ## Tags - [Creativity](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/tag/creativity/) - [studio](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/tag/studio/) - [trythis](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/tag/trythis/) - [Museumgames](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/tag/museumgames/) - [art](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/tag/art/) ## Exhibition Categories - [Upcoming](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/exhibitions/upcoming/) - [Previous](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/exhibitions/previous/) - [Current](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/exhibitions/current/) ## Contributors - [Jeff Katzin](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/contributor/jeff-katzin/) - [Seema Rao](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/contributor/seema-rao/) - [Gina Thomas McGee](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/contributor/gina-thomas-mcgee/) - [Katie DiDomenico](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/contributor/katie-didomenico/) - [Katelyn Evans](https://akronartmuseum.org/media/contributor/katelyn-evans/) ## Event Types - [FREE Program](https://akronartmuseum.org/event_categories/free-program/) - [Members Program](https://akronartmuseum.org/event_categories/members-program/) - [Adult Program](https://akronartmuseum.org/event_categories/adult-program/) - [Children's Program](https://akronartmuseum.org/event_categories/childrens-program/) - [Virtual Program](https://akronartmuseum.org/event_categories/virtual-program/) ## Optional - [Sitemap index](https://akronartmuseum.org/sitemap_index.xml)
