GEOMETRY

The home computer and Internet connectivity has contributed greatly towards a more connected and accessible visual world. A person from one terminal can see the Earth from space, view the building blocks of atoms or even watch a web cam sunset from Fiji. The Internet has enabled us to see our world from a vast number of perspectives through a vast number of technologies. We sometimes forget that the visual world is composed and also based around Geometry.

The show "Geometry" is comprised of the work of 4 artists. Their visual interpretations of landscape vary as they direct their focus on this branch of mathematical thinking but remain tied through common threads that emerge formally through the use of geometric shapes and the manipulation of planes in space. Lori Kella examines a barren and distant landscape while Virginia Fleming is concerned with our invisible influence on the space right in front of us. Magnifying and dissecting a fictional subatomic particle, Jon Olivieri explores the minute on a grand scale, while Michael Ciervo, working close to human scale, invites us into equally mysterious environments. The mathematical and scientific influence does not emotionally sterilize but lends validity to these fictional realities.

Geometry runs from August 9 to 26 with an opening reception on August 9th from 6pm to 9pm. Gallery hours are Saturdays between noon and five or by appointment.
