The works in the exhibition are by turn funny, ironic, clever, playful and exuberant. From the depths of the pit, to the meandering travels of a soap bubble, to a cinematic horror chase, these works will have you rolling on the floor or running for the door. You won’t want to miss this one! This exhibition marks the end of the summer exhibition cycle, and the darker side of light. The works in 5600K literally revolve around white light and human perception. Gunda Förster’s Circle is a spellbinding light that circles on a pendulum and creates moments and places of uncanny theatre. In Light Reading; 1500 cinematic explosions, Elizabeth McAlpine searches cinema for explosions that results in a video work of explosive white light and white noise. In the austere, circular cage of the Neon Circle, Carsten Holler creates a space of transformation. The viewer is encircled within a pulsating cage of light. Holler pushes our limits; body, brain + eye...challenging our abilities to perceive and react within a profoundly disruptive environment.

A photogram is a photographic process that does not require a camera. Arranging objects and/or people on light-sensitive paper creates photograms. Chemistry then fixes exposed papers to create a permanent image. Participants will get to keep photogram(s) made using cyanotype, a bluetoned iron-based, paper. Please bring in objects of variable translucency, negatives and/or printed transparencies that you would like to compose your image with. The workshop will also include group collaborations to create larger compositions on mural sized black & white (silver-based) photographic paper.

After learning the basics of painting and drawing with light techniques, participants will practice to create intriguing collaborative images using hand-held lights. The workshop will culminate with a slide show review of images generated. Feel free to bring your own light toys & tools, DSLR camera (not required), and/or costumes.
