黑料不打烊

Yvette Drury Dubinsky's recent and very large chromogenic prints show a continued fascination with the lines, textures, and colors found in natural forms. By enlarging and isolating what there is to see in common and less common vegetables and fruits, Dubinsky shows in a simple way why artists and designers throughout time have used the natural world as inspiration for making art, whether it is abstract or representational, sculptural or two-dimensional. A fully illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibition. In the Project Room, photographer Frank Roth presents a new series of photographs titled "Narrative Patterns." The series began several years ago when Roth, a teacher of two-dimensional visual design for four decades, decided to lay claim to a personal art form and returned to photography, the medium he originally experimented with before beginning art school. Influenced greatly by Edward Hopper, Roth explores the creation of photographic images that look at ordinary scenes and presents them as a narrative image that reduces the illusion of three-dimensional perspective and respects the flat surface of the picture plane. In the Media Room, video artist Van McElwee presents a single channel video titled "Alternity: A Figure in Manifold Space." This 6:48 minute video created in 2008 expands the vanishing point of linear perspective into a plane, allowing all potential events at that point to mingle freely on the surface of the screen. Figures and sounds merge, blend, shift, and flow through one another in time and space, creating what McElwee calls a "sponge-space of possibilities."
