the exhibition’s title, antiform, is borrowed from an art movement of the late 1960s in which artists’ interest shifted from strict minimalist forms to materials and processes, including chance. with a nod to the earlier generation, the contemporary artists in antiform move away from pure sculpture toward analog and digital work with an interest in everyday materials, process and perception.
lindsay packer uses found materials, colored light and shadow, along with existing architectural elements, to create unexpected optical projections. packer is creating some of her pieces on-site and is also showing video work. john ros‘ interventions are constructed on-site and can include building materials, refuse and discarded objects, light sources, natural light and sound, to draw attention to subtleties of place. ros is constructing all of his work on-site during the installation period, using materials found in and around the staller building and responding to physical elements of the gallery itself, such as its architectural features, as well as shadow and light. mitch patrick brings this practice into the digital arena, using video and 3d printing to examine the relationship of viewers, screens and pixels. all three of the artists are interested in focusing our awareness and perception of the actual or virtual spaces we inhabit.
