Artist reception Saturday, Sept 13, 4-6pm, Exhibit September 13 - November 1, 2014
Catharine Clark Gallery presents The Fluid, a multi-media, immersive exhibition of new work by Chris Doyle. The exhibit will consist of new watercolors as well as a site-specific, multi-channel video and audio installation in our main gallery space. In addition, Doyle's video Bright Canyon, which debuted in Times Square in New York City earlier this year, will be presented in our dedicated media room. Inspired by the environs of the Hudson River, Doyle draws on water as a point of departure to explore the intimate implications of fluidity in our ideas, our bodies and the physical landscape around us.
Water-in process, medium and thematic inspiration-permeates Doyle's new body of work. This is the artist's fourth exhibit based on The Course of Empire series, Thomas Cole's canonical depiction of the cyclical bloom and decay of human civilization and the natural world. Doyle's work pushes this idea further-suggesting erasure of the distinction between man and nature and proposing instead a continuum along which we flow. This idea is embodied in an immersive audio-visual installation entitled The Fluid : equal parts multi-media artistry and visceral/emotional experience. The project draws on the profound environmental anxiety around water, and in turn, on the way that tension might be encoded into representations of contemporary landscape. Projected geometric abstractions embodying various forms of water, combined with sound composed by musician Jeremy Turner, envelop the viewer.
