Hypnagogic: Artist Talk and Video Screening
Join Aggregate Space for a live presentation from the participating artists! ...”hypnagogic” is a term coined by Alfred Maury for the transitional state between wakefulness and sleep (i.e. the onset of sleep). Free Online Dictionary, May 14, 2012. http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/hypnagogic Marya Krogstad exhibits ambitious room-sized installations that engage the viewer’s perception and participation. With an oneiric sensibility, the works address notions of in-between dimensions, transience, and the encounter. Rebecca Parks-Ramage reveals in her work a vision for the surreal as it is expressed in the everyday. In videos and photographs she communicates a lush and visceral world, laying bare the present moment in a way that is as alive as it is true. Jonathan Sajda works from dreams and chance circumstances. He eschews traditional narrative forms, seeking out new mythologies steeped in the mystic and absurd.
