Aerial

Raid Projects, Los Angeles

Raid Projects Opening Sat. March 6, 7-10pm

"the first is the eye that sees,
the second is the object seen,
the third is the distance between them,"
-Albrect Durer after Piero della Francesca

The perception of space is an elemental aesthetic experience. Durer described space as the distance between the eye and the object seen, an absence that reveals all things. It is a grand nothing that propels us into space and evokes the aerial view. The artist like a conduit slows us down and allows us to perceive something seemingly hidden but present.

These artists explore aerial as a motif in many different ways through illusionistic spatial constructions, three-dimensional objects and installations. Rather than dwelling formally on the media or technique of the artists this show will explore the experience of space, how distance (both literally and fiiguratively) creates an opportunity for the viewer to enter the work and how this experience is felt. The language I have chosen is that of spatial poetics and musical cadence; the stress and unstress of voluminous or crowded space.

Aerial opens at Raid Projects Saturday March 6th from 7-10 P.M. Raid is located at 602 Moulton St. Los Angeles, Ca 90031. The gallery is open Saturdays from 12-5 or by appointment.
