Artists’ Talk: Thursday, September 20, 6 – 8 pm
with Janice Gurney, Nestor Kruger, and Yam Lau
Panel Discussion: Thursday, October 18, 6 – 8 pm
Conspiracies of Illusion explores how artists can adjust our experience of time and space. We routinely consider space and time as continuous and unproblematic. But photo and moving-image-based works by Canadians Janice Gurney, Nestor Kruger, Yam Lau, American David Reed, and a foundational work by the late German artist Blinky Palermo, cast doubt on this habit of mind.
In their works, each dimension appears to be composed in layers. This reconfigured space changes the way that a 2-D medium (such as painting or photography) exists and acts. A reconfigured past time entails a different structure for our sense of history.
An exhibition catalogue with essays by Mark A. Cheetham, Andy Patton and Christine Sprengler is forthcoming.
