Ros Barron '54 is a pioneering video artist, an immersive theater creative director, a painter, and a teacher. In 1968, Ros and her husband Harris Barron along with Allan Finneran co-founded and co-directed ZONE, a unique visual theater. ZONE enjoyed sold-out performances at Brandeis' Spingold Theater and went on to tour 13 New York State SUNY campuses. In 1971, they were commissioned by the Guggenheim Museum to design and realize a major performance work based on the existing 1909 notes for Kandinsky's never realized Der Gelbe Klange [The Yellow Sound] for the museum's 1972 Kandinsky retrospective. Following this, WGBH offered Ros and Harris Rockefeller Artists-in-Television grants to experiment with new video technology. The video works she produced at the WGBH's New Television Workshop independently demonstrate Ros' insatiable creativity and surrealist perspective. Ros and Harris Barron had a remarkable impact on MassArt when they transformed their ZONE visual theater experiment into the Studio for Interrelated Media in 1969, which recently celebrated its 50th year. Ros taught painting for many years at UMass Boston and has enjoyed many awards and residencies throughout her life. In addition to Ros' video and theater work, Ros has a continuous practice of drawing, painting, printmaking, and collage. At 91, Ros sketches daily and thinks of her sketched squares as windows, stages, or screens.
