    Oldham". During her time as Bernheim Arboretum's 2010 Artist in
    Residence, Brooklyn, NY artist Julia Oldham created a series of videos
    that combine science fiction and performance. She developed a fictional

    Under this guise, Oldham pursued a series of four strange experiments on
    the arboretum grounds; the resulting videos and preliminary drawings
    are on display at the Carnegie Center. Please visit our website at www.carnegiecenter.org or call 812-944-7336 for information on exhibit and related programs. Reception and exhibit sponsored by the
