First Friday at VSW
Visual Studies Workshop
31 Prince St.
Apr 3, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Nick Marshall’s recent photographs and paintings explore the desire to withdraw from the everyday into representations of the idyllic. With the sea as a backdrop, the work creates imaginative horizons by turning our often absurd attempts to substantiate the ephemeral–air and water–into anonymous or impossible locales. Through the use of consumer house paint and vacation photos, Marshall reveals our cultural attempts to materialize and reconstruct memory and fantasy.   Join us for his Project Space closing event.

Opening in the Gallery, Phases and Passings, the MFA thesis show of John Barnabas Lake, explores the being human through photography, installation, and text. Interactivity is encouraged.

At 7pm, in the auditorium, see Experimental Video from the VSW Collection which feature early videos made by artists interested in exploring the perceptual thresholds that this “new” medium could offer. All shown in their original formats!
