Four site specific installations in the corridors behind the walls of The Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College |
Existing architecture, plexiglass screen, lens, halogen light, mirror, mylar |
|
 A screen with a moving projection hangs on a gallery wall |
|
|
|
 A door to the right is left open inviting the viewer to enter the usually off-limit space |
|
|
|
 The first thing one encounters is a distored reflection in a sheet of mylar |
|
|
|
 Inside the corridor, the viewer realizes what makes the projection in the gallery area (the mirror reflects the length of the corridor into the lens in the wall). As the viewer stands there figuring this out, his/her body becomes part of the projection in the gallery. |

|
Existing architecture, fiberoptic cable, plastic tubing, halogen light, fan, pinwheel |
|
|
|
|
|
 Strands of raw fiberoptic weave out the slatted door. They follow along a wall in the gallery to shoot
light into a crevice between two walls. |
|
|
|
 A pulsing light signal is visible along the route through the strands of clear fiberoptic line. |
|
|
|
 By following the cable, one realizes that the light source is obviously inside the corridor behind the slatted door. |
|
|
|
 Looking inside, through the slats of the door, one sees the event in the corridor that creates the light signal in the gallery. |
|
|
|
Existing architecture, lenses, mirror, mylar, pvc pipes, fan, halogen light, pinwheel |
|
 The corridor door is left open but is roped off against entry. An 8" diameter viewing device protrudes out of it. Farther along that that wall, another viewing device is installed in the wall. |
|
|
|
 The device protruding out the door is a periscope, so you can't see what it is looking at, but a kinetic image of shifting color can be seen as you look into it. |
|
|
|
 Continuing farther along the wall, one sees the other device, filled with a kinetic, spinning, luminious image. |

|
Existing architecture, ground glass, lens, halogen light, pinwheel, fan, mirror |
|
 Around the closet from a closed slatted door, a tiny glass screen is imbedded in the wall. |
|
|
|
 On the screen is a pulsing circular image about 3cm diameter. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 Peering through the slats of the closed closet door, one sees elements in the closet that seem to be the components of the the tiny circle on the screen. |
