August 1 - October. This exhibition presents three installations that embody current trends of light-based work in contemporary art. Kempinas, Shotz, and Temple engage the divergent approaches and effects embedded in the longstanding relationship between light and art. All of these artists eschew advancements in light technology, despite such recent innovations as digitization and LEDs. Although their artwork is fully about light, they do not physically include light within the parameters of their work. Each installation is created through a laborious, handmade process, using both traditional and atypical materials. The fundamental property of each work is the ultimate reliance on the presence or absence of ambient light in the gallery space. Via three distinct visual interactions with external light sources, these artists explore the transformative properties of light, highlighting its ability to dramatically alter our perception of materials and our sensation of stability, both visual and physical, within a space. Time: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday-Sunday 11:00am-5:45pm, Thursday until 8:45pm
