Light Making Motion: Works on Paper Night Cafe in Living Color by Elaine Buckholtz
Artist Reception: Friday, July 8, 6 - 8 PM Electric Works is pleased to announce Light Making Motion: Works on Paper and in Light, a solo show by Elaine Buckholtz. Buckholtz will take over every square inch of the gallery—including the Project Space—for this exhibition that will feature video, light-based work and works on paper. Buckholtz' current work will employ video projection, channeled light plates, a trove of optical devices in vitrines as well as vibrant prints on the wall. Presentationally simple, Buckholtz' projections and light-bending apparatus charge the exhibition space with an otherworldly glow that alters the viewers' perceptions. Buckholtz' presentations of transformed objects and lenses into visual apparatus feel like a peek behind the curtain in the Wizard's laboratory: viewers will have the chance to interact with the exhibition by using the various optical devices Buckholtz has populated the gallery with. The large-scale video installation in the Project Space, previewed in its nascent form at the gallery a year ago, is the crown jewel in this ambitious manipulation of light and color. Buckholtz received her MFA at Stanford University and has shown at The Swiss Technorama Museum, Winterthur Switzerland; Yerba Buena Center For The Arts, San Francisco, California; The Claremont Museum in Southern California; Pierogi Leipzig, Leipzig Germany; The Luggage Store in San Francisco;The San Francisco Arts Commission; California College of The Arts; Stanford University; The Wexner Center For The Arts; Sun Valley Center For The Arts; and Fusion Art Space, San Francisco, California.
