Chris Rackley’s Protoscapes exhibit (March 5 - April 19, 2015) was filled with interactive space-themed pieces and entertained young and old alike. Rackley explores the disjointed relationship between observation and knowledge in attempting to understand fundamental reality. Inspired in equal parts by particle physics research, science fiction tropes, and filmmaking strategies, his video sculpture generates an experience of looking and connecting disparate parts through two distinct medias, unified here.

"The Room of Waves" was an installation featured in Surviving Tsunami Waves: the Exhibition of Resilience through Arts and Narrative, a collaborative exhibit created by women from Tohoku, the Japanese coastal region devastated by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The exhibition, held from March 11-20, 2015 in Rochester, MN, showed the artistic work of Sashiko (traditional decorative stitching work) which served the women in Tohoku as a source of resilience and healing. The text in the video is excerpted from UMR professor and poet Yuko Taniguchi's poem "Sashiko", which accompanied "The Room of Waves" piece at the Rochester Art Center.

Surviving Tsunami Waves: An Exhibition of Resilience through Arts and Narrative (March 11 - 20, 2015) was a collaborative event that explores how resilience and healing are connected to arts and narrative and community engagement. The event presented the stories of the residents in Tohoku, the northeastern coast of Japan, who were affected by the earthquake and tsunami in 2011. The exhibitions showed the artistic work of Sashiko (traditional decorative stitching work) which served the women in Tohoku as a source of resilience and healing. The Sashiko work created by two organizations, Senninbari Project in Miyagi and Otsuchi Sashiko Project in Iwate, was displayed during the ten days at Mayo Clinic, RAC, and UMR. Additionally, the role of art, community engagement and narrative was explored through various activities such as lectures, presentations and workshops offered by experts, artists, and writers.

The image of the crow is a symbolic representation of the Rochester Art Center as we establish ourselves and our identity in the community and beyond. There are many attributes of the crow with which we identify as an institution. The crow is creative, intelligent, resourceful, innovative, and adapts to see things from a higher (or different) perspective. The crow’s disposition is fearless, audacious, and flexible.
This particular graphic representation was originally designed by former Tastes Like Paint student, Elythia Flores. It is an image that has stuck with us and continues to come up in conversation as we discuss our brand and identity. The silhouette is a strong, contemporary, graphic image. It generates attention and makes an impression. For Rochester Art Center, it is an icon which will be identifiable on a global scale, reinforcing our brand as we make our presence known.
Taken directly from our mission statement, Rochester Art Center shares many of the crow’s most prominent characteristics:
Rochester Art Center offers the opportunity for all people to understand and value the arts through innovative experiences with contemporary art. Through world-class exhibitions and programs, we present a welcoming, integrated, and diverse experience that encourages questioning, creativity, and critical thinking. These exhibitions and programs are designed to reflect the dynamic relationship between art and society. They educate, challenge, and connect individuals to our world in compelling new ways. We are committed to being a cultural center in our community and to enhancing our region as a destination for creativity and innovation. We provide value through engagement with broad communities, strong collaborations with other organizations, and a history of excellence.
