slow blink at pink sun
Diana Lynn VanderMeulen

Lingering in a purgatory between reality and illusion, slow blink considers the space that exists intimately when staring into light. The image might pass over the surface of the retina for a moment, or may exist only in the mind.

Claire Bartleman, Colleen McCarten, Sam Pedicelli and Charlotte Moynes

Pattern Makers considers the various ways in which textile artists and craft makers employ pattern and repetition in their practice.

We Dream in Terrain
Dan Frawley

We Dream in Terrain is a photographic-installation which investigates landscape photography by breaking one of its core rules: the idealized flat horizon line. With photographs taken every five steps through an eroding historic site transitioning into a mixed-use space, the shape of the ground where the tripod sits is mimicked in the angle of the horizon line. The landscape presents its own unique topographical portrait, resembling the crests and troughs of waves. Each deviation from a flat horizon line speaks of the composition of the ground, effects of weather, as well as human, plant, and animal interactions with the landscape.

External Space
February 17 – March 30
Run
Faraz Anoushehpour

Run is a performative video that is structured as a long and uninterrupted tracking shot following a protagonist’s action to the point of his physical exhaustion.
