David Burrows - Night is also a Sun
IMT
1/13/2012 to 2/12/2012
Thur-Sun 12-6pm or by appointment
An exhibition of hand-cut paper cut-outs, mobiles and audio visual work that addresses viral mutation, propagation, repetition and collapse. The exhibition has one proposition: ‘Pain is also joy, curse is also a blessing, night is also a sun…’ That is, the sun – an analogy for enlightenment – is eclipsed by the intensity of its after-image, (absolute vision is blind and blinding). The exhibited work draws upon traditional, folk and mass media artifacts such as Halloween silhouettes, Chinese paper cuts and flow diagrams and presents search-engine trash as good fortune charms, sigils and diagrams and symbols of anxiety and aspiration.
