Energy
Alyce de Roulet Williamson Gallery (Art Center College of Design), Pasadena
The exhibit investigates how natural forces shape not only material things, but affect our emotions and intellect as well. Video installations that capture the rawness and intensity of an icy, rushing waterfall or the texture and mutability of an undulating field of grass, a photo series of starlings in flight and NASA images of the iron-blue heat emanating from our sun invite the viewer to make an emotional connection to matter and energy.
ENERGY is one of a series of Art Center projects that explores the intersection of the left and right brain — of art and science — a nexus that provides a vision for sustainable and innovative design in the Twenty-First century. The exhibit investigates how natural forces shape not only material things, but affect our emotions and intellect as well.
Video installations that capture the rawness and intensity of an icy, rushing waterfall or the texture and mutability of an undulating field of grass, a photo series of starlings in flight — simultaneously many organisms and one unit, and NASA images of the iron-blue heat emanating from our sun invite the viewer to make an emotional connection to matter and energy.
Art Center College's learning process will be represented in ENERGY by students who will use a section of the gallery as their studio, studying and putting on display their exploration of the question "Where do Energy and Design Intersect?"
ENERGY is funded in part by the Williamson Gallery Patrons and a grant from the Pasadena Art Alliance. Individuals and organizations contributing resources to ENERGY include Southern California artist Rebeca Mendez; New York photographer Richard Barnes; the Department of Geological and Planetary Sciences, California Institute of Technology; the Dawn Mission, Jet Propulstion Laboratory; the Solar System Visualization Project, Jet Propulsion Laboratory; The Huntington Library, Rare Books Collection; The Prelinger Archive; Archive.org; and students in the Design for Sustainability 2 class and their instructors Heidrun Mumper-Drumm and Fridolin Beisert.
