Another Dark Day Passes

Hi Blog,

It's me again! It's been a long time since I've updated you. Here's all the latest and greatest!

ANOTHER DARK DAY PASSES




Exhibition dates: February 5 to March 1, 2014
Opening Vernissage February 6 from 7 to 11 pm

'Another Dark Day Passes' is an exploration of psychedelic landscapes and alternative realities. This show invites viewers to experience the gallery as a portal to an altered psychological state. The works presented oscillate between material reality and dream-like illusion. The holographic and iridescent aesthetic that runs through the show is meant to communicate optimism by transforming the gallery into an ethereal environment. Conversely, dissonant elements have been incorporated with the intent of disarming the viewer to release meditative energy and open up the imagination. It is a psychological mirage, where confusion and darkness give way to possibility and hope.

Curated by Diana Lynn VanderMeulen and Julia Dickens

Featuring work by: Robin Clason, Sarah D'Angelo, Julia Dickens, Melissa Fisher, Inez Genereux, Eunice Luk, Felix Kalmenson, Nicholas Robins, Mark Sommerfeld, Diana Lynn VanderMeulen, Vince Vining

Featuring Special Cocktails by Magic Hour aka Anna May Henry.
