Raphaele Shirley
0910 Light Shots
May 21 – June 19, 2010
Opening Reception: May 20, 6 –
8pm
The Chelsea Art Museum is pleased
to present 0910 Light Shots by Raphaele Shirley, a
site-specific multi-media artwork for The Project Room for New Media. In
this new work Raphaele displays her dexterity in use of diverse mediums
and materials such as light, fog, sensors and mirrors by which she
carves ephemeral sculptures in time and space, re-evaluating elemental
yet elusive aspects of the world around us.
0910 Light Shots is a
continuation of her light based multi-media work such as Jewels of
Kvinesdal in Norway (2009) and Shooting Stair (2009)
published by Dorfman Projects in NY. In these recent works Raphaele
mingles the spatial clarity and structure of minimalism with the dynamic
and virtual qualities of new media and technology. Using light beams
to draw lines and planes in space, she constructs both the visible
evidence of basic geometry and the invisible and undefined structures of
space into which these exist and extend. The piece created for the
Project Room for New Media will be at once a site-specific ephemeral
object and an interactive installation; the composition evolving in
color and perspective according to the viewer’s position within. The
electric presence of this irradiant sculpture takes root in basic
physics, creating an arrestingly essential visual space and an
environment for contemplation and reflection, whilst underlining primary
phenomena intrinsic to our surroundings and exploring principles of
perception.
