Daniel Feldman :"THIS SIDE UP "
When
- Sunday
- Feb. 12, 2012
Description
Gallery I
Opening Reception
Friday, Feb 3
6-830 pm
The title of this exhibition is drawn from a familiar experience: receiving a package marked simply with those words, "This Side Up." Faced with this phrase, you instantly know something quite specific about the otherwise unknown object. You stand there in front of it and begin unwrapping it. Portions are revealed that perhaps seem familiar. Other parts are puzzling and don't immediately lend themselves to identification and interpretation: what do I make of this?
So it is with the nine archival pigment prints, created digitally, in "This Side Up." Gradually the content in the images appears, and slowly a relationship begins between viewer and work. The images seem to be of places -- a partly demolished building, scissor stairs and glass partitions in a new building, water cascading into a building under renovation -- yet something is oddly "out of place." Familiar and unfamiliar, possible and impossible, flow into one another.
