Homing: Site Reflections
Homing is an ongoing collaborative project by Katherine G. Moore and Kathryn Nusa Logan that explores embodied relationships to landscape through sound, movement, and participatory performance. The exhibition brings together film, audio, and installation to document site-specific participatory audio projects developed across Ohio.
In the gallery, immersive video documentation and accompanying audio invite viewers to consider their own bodily awareness and relationship to environment. The project also expands through a new participatory audio experience designed for the Lazarus Building Rooftop Gardens, where community members will gather to move through the space together while responding to a shared audio guide. Across these interconnected works, Homing examines relationships between natural and built environments while fostering practices of attention, movement, and collective exploration of site.

Homing is a site-specific audio installation and participatory performance score for the rooftop garden of the Lazarus Building in downtown Columbus. Through a guided audio experience, Homing invites participants to bring awareness to attention, sensation, and movement in their bodies in relation to the rooftop landscape and Columbus skyline. Participants will move through the audio experience together, allowing spontaneous choreography to emerge while also learning about green roofs and their impact on urban ecology and sustainability.
This event will run 30–45 minutes and is offered at 5:00 and 6:00 PM on July 9. RSVP required. Meet us in the Urban Arts Space lobby! In the event of inclement weather, this event will be rescheduled for July 11, 2026 at 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM.

Attention Lab
Saturday, August 15, 1–3 PM
Urban Arts Space
This interactive art/science workshop explores the importance of urban green spaces by highlighting what may live beneath the surface of typical human attention. Participants will first learn about insects and their critical role in urban ecosystems from Dr. Mary Gardiner (Entomologist and Distinguished Professor at Ohio State). Then, artists Katherine G. Moore & Kathryn Nusa Logan will lead participants through a movement score-making process that reflects the mindful awareness and small acts of noticing important to their Homing exhibition and ongoing practice with site/landscape. Participants will leave with take-home steps to support natural ecosystems in their own backyards.
