Now and When

If we are lucky, we just might get to experience a moment of true wonder…

Now and When
November 23, 2012 to January 10, 2013

 

Time and magik* are both invisible tricksters. They can take us to places of delight, playful disbelief, and sometimes fear. If we are lucky, we just might get to experience a moment of true wonder. This site-specific installation activates the gallery’s windows using vintage mechanical dioramas that are simultaneously fantastical, and creepy. Conjuring up a time of penny arcade innocence, Now and When is inspired by the feelings of anticipation and childhood enchantment with other worlds.

* Magik is a method of harnessing and directing the power of “psychic energy,” the natural but invisible forces that surround all living things, connecting all things.

Found objects, textiles. Custom motors provided and designed by Nicholas Steadman, 2012.

Convenience is a window gallery that provides an opening for art that engages, experiments, and takes risks with the architectural, urban, and civic realm.
