Please join us for a reception for the artist: CHARLIE MILGRIM: hallucinatory participation: see art, be art
Using a kaleidoscopic lens to document museum goers, Charlie Milgrim's new photo series re-contextualizes the experience of viewing Bill Ham's light art installation from the De Young Museum's Summer of Love exhibition. By psychedelically superimposing the viewer onto the digital light show, the visitor becomes an active element. The lens alters the view of the spectator creating a hallucinogenic circle, where nothing interrupts the illusion.
CHARLIE MILGRIM is a multimedia artist from New York City who moved to the Bay Area in her 20's to attend the California College of the Arts, and later received her MFA from UC Berkeley. She has since participated in the Bay Area arts community through exhibition and curation and has been a member of the Mercury 20 Gallery for the past 10 years. Milgrim has had solo shows at OK Harris in New York, and San Francisco's Gallery 16 and Haines Gallery. Her work examines the ties and lies between history, science, and culture, whether considering environmental degradation, cultural detritus, or the relationship between money and militarism. Milgrim works with a wide range of materials, from photography to tar paper made three dimensional to precariously arranged found objects, such as bowling balls.
PLUS: A COLLABORATIVE CONCEPT BY CHARLIE MILGRIM & JOHANNA POETHIG:
c.a.t.a.c.l.y.s.m. i.n.c.
In the midst of never-ending disasters, as the specter of totalitarianism hangs over our heads, c.a.t.a.c.l.y.s.m. i.n.c. dissociates from this human tragedy with the middle-distance glance of a fashion advertisement, inhabiting the sharp edge of unreal worlds in the realm of luxury logo goods. c.a.t.a.c.l.y.s.m. i.n.c. fetishizes our anesthetized relationship with devastation in fur and red leather selling the end of the world politics with t-shirts and shiny silver goods to survive climate change disasters with a flair.
MARCH 29 - MAY 5, 2018
EVENTS:
- First Friday Art Murmurs: April 6 & May 4, 6-9pm
