Opening reception Sat, Sept 12, 2-5pm, Exhibition September 12 - October 17, 2015
Catharine Clark Gallery presents Content Void Content, an exhibition of new work by Andy Diaz Hope in our main galleries, and a collaborative media room project with Jon Bernson. On view September 12 - October 17, 2015, Content Void Content features mirrored sculptures which combine ancient mathematics, traditional craft, and modern technology to explore unlikely sources of transcendence. An exhibition of new paintings by Kara Maria titled Haywire exhibits concurrently in our viewing room.
The title of the show is ambiguous: "Content" can connote satisfied and satiated held within or included and more recently, refers to information made available by a website. "Void" can also be interpreted in different ways, specifically in the context of "content". All of these meanings can be applied both to the title and the works in the exhibit depending on the personal biases and persuasions of the viewer, adding to the rich complexity underlying Diaz Hope's latest creations. The triptych Beautiful Void anchors the front gallery, and demonstrates the piercing, arresting aesthetic Diaz Hope has honed since debuting his work with glass and mirror in Infinite Mortal in 2010. Three circular wall sculptures, based on mandalas or halos, contain at their center a mirrored void (or portal) reflecting ad infinitum. Based on the geometry of Islamic muquarnas, and also on early representations of divine light, the works serve both as contemplative spiritual guides, as well as reminders of the role that science plays in transcendence.
