Writing With Light: New Media Exhibit
Saturday, May 16th from 7 to 9 (opening); 9 to 11 (concert)

Writing with Light will bring together exceptional artists working in light-based media ranging from video installation to alternative process photography. Showcasing groundbreaking work from local and national artists, Writing with Light is not only a thoughtful engagement with new trends in art, but also an intentionally interactive environment in which the viewer can trace the process involved.

The centerpiece of the exhibit will be a new sculptural piece by Josephy Poon constructed from 40 analog televisions displaying original video footage scored to Mahler's 2nd Symphony. Celebrated Chicago-based artist Alexander Stewart will also be presenting "Errata," a film made entirely from reiterative Xerox copying process and showing a new book piece made in an afternoon in Astoria, Queens where xerography was invented.

A free concert follows the opening at 9pm with Early Day Miners (Secretly Canadian), Metavari, and Fractured Army performing as part of our Elevator Music Series.
