Luminary Center for the Arts: Friday, 10 June 2011
Join us for the Analogue Opening Reception from 6-9pm on Friday, June 10th. Analogue brings to the forefront the concept that contemporary culture is perceived through a discontinuous series of analogies rather than a linear narrative. Finding in the commercial landscape a language of representation and reference, the five artists in Analogue make use of common cultural material—consumer goods inverted, remade and expanded upon; survival recast as a particular set of products; the infuriating experience of waiting for YouTube to load given physical presence.
Participating artists include Ethan Greenbaum, Caleb Larsen, Zoe Sheehan Saldana, Helmut Smits and Ryan Thayer.
John Early's new site-specific installation, Terra Firma, opens in the Installation Space. Terra Firma stems from a recent documentary chronicling the career of BMX rider Mat Hoffman, who has devoted much of the past twenty-five years to launching himself and his bike to unbelievable and unprecedented heights. Using as a frame of reference Hoffman's relentless pursuit to push the bounds of gravity, Terra Firma explores the condition of humankind's earthbound existence and the desire to transcend and push beyond that limit.
