Allan deSouza, Close Quarters and Far Pavilions Oct 1, 2011 – Jan 8, 2012 • Gallery 3 Organized by Julio César Morales, Visual Arts Adjunct Curator Allan deSouza’s new video and photographic installation, Close Quarters and Far Pavilions, consists of a four-channel video work of multiple sequences shot from inside commercial flights at the time of take-offs and landings. The title, culled from M.M. Kaye’s 1978 novel about conflicting identities and split loyalties set in India and Afghanistan, suggests the aircrafts’ cramped spaces as well as the exotic allure of faraway places. Photographs of the landscape below, also taken during flights, complement the videos.
