Memory Eternal
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 26, 6-9pm Full live performance by Ascended Master at 8pm For his fourth solo exhibition at Catharine Clark Gallery, Memory Eternal, Reuben Lorch-Miller delves into the conceptual framework of the meta-physical and draws on a range of artistic interests such as abstraction, minimalism, perceptual phenomena, and sacred geometry. Additionally, the work is informed by the writings of horror and science fiction writers H.P. Lovecraft and Philip K. Dick. Intrinsic to Lorch-Miller’s practice is the belief that art making itself is a form of self-discovery and that the viewer may yield the similar benefits through a thoughtful experience of the work. As with Draeger’s work, Lorch-Miller’s new work is also influenced by psychedelic imagery and the idea of the psychedelic experience as both revelatory and transitional. A new video, The Beginning of the Way (Generator), flashes frames of solid colors in a meditative sequence and integrated into a sculptural form. Visitors will be invited to sit down to view the video through the end of the sculpture. Another work, a large hexagonal wooden sculpture, with the eponymous title of the exhibition, functions as an object for contemplation and as a portal through which the viewer may derive their own interpretations of the work. Reuben Lorch-Miller’s work has been included in exhibitions at White Box (New York, New York), 21c Museum (Louisville, Kentucky) and the Frye Museum (Seattle, Washington). Critical reviews of his work have been featured in Art in America, Flash Art, and Artforum, among other publications. He lives and works in New York.
