Through October 18th.The works in aggregate employ a process of accumulation and assembly of parts to make a whole. Each artist elaborates on an initial matrix, manipulating the context and form of fragments to explore notions of place, pattern, and permutation. Cole Caswell’s photographs of mold colonies are luminous studies in configuration, revealing complex structures analogous to human networks. (Image: "Unified Field" by Eric Hongisto) Performance artist and puppeteer Vasilios Gletsos creates a playful, organic topography in which to stage journeys for his anti-hero, Baconface. Painter Eric Hongisto’s architectural interventions serve as extensions of the surrounding geography, making connections between local forms and phenomena. Shannon Rankin’s deconstruction of maps into intricately patterned installations explores the relationship between physical place and intangible experience. Sculptor and public artist Aaron T. Stephan’s altered book structures are part of a practice that reconsiders familiar objects, pursuing material metaphors that question the substance of appearances. |
