Exhibition Opening: Light Sensitive by Tara Merenda Nelson
Visual Studies Workshop
31 Prince St.
Nov 7, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

“I am motivated by the study of human perception as both the filter through which we experience the world, and the mechanism that makes it meaningful.”  – T.M.N. VSW Artist-in-Residence Tara Merenda Nelson will display a selection of light-based “cinema sculptures,” devised and constructed as instruments for visual research. This multi-media exhibit explores the relationship between projected light and the human perceptual mechanism by expanding and engaging with multiple layers of cinematic projection devices. This show is time-based, and will be on display for limited periods of time during the engagement. Light Sensitive opens with Movies From the Multiverse: Live sound and projections on multiple 16mm and Super 8.  This multi-media experimental film and sound performance features the performance duo Shades of Fawn (Tara and Gordon Nelson) on Friday, November 7th at 7:30pm.
