In the Light of Your Shadow

I move to my right inside a room, to get a better look, to see

In the Light of Your Shadow is a group show of eight artists who draw attention to perception, aided or influenced by materials, artistic techniques, and the environment. If you see something, how does it change when you move ever so slightly to the right? Can you detect the shape or seam of invisible labor? Through conversation, how does the look and feel of what is in front of you continusouly change?

The works featured in In the Light of Your Shadow shift nature, foreground, and coloring, through carefully crafted considerations of lighting, illusion, performance, and observational details. In studio visits, each artist was asked to describe the transmutable qualities of their work in two words: a description of that which sits on the surface and a term representative of something that is there, but harder to detect at first sight.

When your shadow falls across these words, will something else come to light?

This exhibition was jured by Alyssa Velazquez.

During the opening and closing event, a durational piece by José Santiago Pérez, “neither you nor I are visible”, will be performed along with select afternoons throughout the run of the exhibition. Visitors are encouraged to return to witness the slow, but perceptible, transformation to Pérez’s corresponding woven work, Untitled (gold portal). Attendees can also contribute to another one of the featured fiber and performance works in the show, the Throughline project by Ashley Cecil. Cecil will conduct scheduled sessions for anyone willing to participate on March 16, March 20, April 10, and April 17.
