one and two and

Opening reception July 10th 6-10pm
We’ll be ringing in the patriotic new year, somewhere else.

One and two and is a collection of installation-based work of various mediums including video, light, sound and sculpture. Six artists express the current pace of life with art that is 4-dimensional, meaning the involvement of the spacial dimensions – width, hight and depth plus the dimension of time. The exhibit offers a hyper-real experience that is meant to be fun and sometimes mind altering to reflects the buzz of the technology, interactivity and versatility of our time. 

Dan Murphy has created a simulation of a dance party complete with controls that can be customized by each viewer for their own ultimate party experience. Masha Badinter and Jenna Wilchinsky have fuzed together old and new ways of listening to music into the form of an interactive listening booth; listen to your favorite albums of the 60′s, 70′s, 80′s and 90′s with a new twist! Jimm Scannell’s full-room installation has sculptures made of spinning disks, and office tacks that are carefully plotted and calibrated to move and change in coordination with light and time.

Ben Contois will be intercepting sounds and frequencies with pressure-sensative microphones in the gallery and re-using them in an improvised performance that will elapse throughout the entire opening. He will be using a large array of instruments, microphones, mixing boards and amplifiers. Jim Garvey’s 3-diminensional compositions; essentially clusters of otherwise banal materials from everyday life, take the form of chandeliers, trees, sound cages and more. His works will be peppered throughout  the interior and exterior spaces of the gallery; some interacting with one another through sound imaging.

Although each participating artist is working within their own previous practices and artistic principles, they have worked together to make this exhibition a complete experience, as it is meant to operate as a whole occurrence of many parts. Each installation created is it’s own involved 3-dimensional environment for the viewer to experience, but it is these constant series of synchronous simulations that will make the entirety of the exhibit come alive on the night of the opening.
