Opening reception February 20th, 6-8pm Washington-based city explorer Joe Penrod uses ordinary blue painters tape to document every day icons of the urban landscape - traffic cones, stop signs, benches, garbage cans and ladders, to name a few. His tape shadows mimic shadows cast by the sun, yet the bright blue contrasts to what our eyes expect to see, creating a beautiful and surreal illusion. For this installation at Swarm Gallery, Joe plans to build a column of traffic cones in reference to Constantin Brancusi's "Endless Column." The original sculpture was created as a tribute to young Romanians who died in World War I fighting Germany.
