Tomorrow Saturday, May 11th, 2013 and on view through June 8th, Julian Navarro Projects at Mandragaras Art Space in Long Island City, New York, is presenting Wendy Wischer's new works with an exhibition entitled "Black Holes and Silver Linings."
Installed in the gallery’s main space, the exhibition consists of thousands of mirrored acrylic fragments, projected video, and sensor-triggered sound that invites the viewer to descend and move into an exploration of our connection with nature.
In the back of gallery is Wischer's installation entitled "Still Searching 2011-2013," a group of 5 trees suspended from the ceiling made out of black wire and mirrored mylar leaves that seems as if almost floating.
By transforming the space into an immersive landscape, the Salt Lake City-based artist allows the space to become the performer that acts and reacts according to motion, projected images with sonorous reflections.
With each new work, Wischer, 43, seeks to re-direct attention to the smaller things in life, exposing the sacred within the mundane and the monumental within the minute, as thoughts and memories, experiences and environments, continuously appear and reappear in overlapping fragments.
This exhibition supported by the University of Utah College of Fine Arts' Creative & Scholarly Research Grant Fund andMandragoras Art Space, New York.
