| Upcoming Events | Joanne Lefrak: Past As Presence Opening Reception Friday August 27th from 5:00-7:00 pm Mounted directly to the wall, Lefrak’s scratched Plexiglas drawings, when directly lit, create nearly photo-realistic images in shadow. Lefrak writes: My intention is to visually represent a space or place that transmits energy from the past. Each image has a story to tell, and in the same way that the shadow is connected to the drawing, the scenes that are represented are inseparable from history.” The show will include drawings of Trinity Site, the infamous NM testing ground for atomic bombs, 2 of which were exhibited at MASS MoCA earlier this year as part of “InVisible: Art at the Edge of Perception.” August 27th through October 2nd Michelle Cooke: new works in glass and ink on paper Opening Reception Friday October 8th from 5:00-7:00 pm Light activates Cooke’s glass works which are primarily composed of optically perfect glass slides in parallel formations and attached by a single edge. Unlike Cooke’s earlier works which were installed directly on the wall, her new glass works are on panel and sealed in Plexi boxes. The effects of cast shadow and reflection multiply, soften, and broaden the image, visually dominating the transparent glass form. Cooke’s exquisitely poised and tendril-like abstract drawings (on handmade Asian papers) – the Aerie series – seem to describe falling and rising at once. Michelle Cooke’s glass installations have been exhibited in museum and galleries in the United States and in Europe, most recently, the New Mexico Museum of Art (Flux Invitational, 2008) and the Amarillo Museum of Art (Biennial, 2009).
