Syracuse Warehouse Gallery Windows Project -> thewarehousegallery.syr.edu
I’m excited that my work is now on display at the Warehouse Gallery Windows Project. The installation consists of three large (11′×39″ ) backlit window banners visible from the street (best seen at night), and a 16 minute video rear projected inside the gallery. The video piece consists of over 5000 sequential still frames taken on my travels in India over the last 9 years, and a layered sound track of ambient street sounds and music that I’ve encountered in my journeys. The window banners contain a more “limited” selection of those images.
What should have been a simple project managed to turn into an epic struggle to meet the opening deadline when my computer (with the nearly completed work!) was stolen off a bus this summer in Costa Rica. Does anyone want to talk about the importance of backing up one’s digital work? The work that resulted in the aftermath turned out quite different than what I had originally envisioned & perhaps more conceptually unified. Anyhow, it’s on display until November 6. Hope you will get a chance to check it out. Feel free to drop me a line with any kind of feedback. I’m curious what people think, as this is very different than projects I’ve done in the past!
