Ethan Jackson, from "Polyopticon VI"
NAAU's next
Couture exhibition opens this week. With
Orbis Viridus Obscurus, photographer Ethan Jackson will convert the entire gallery space into a "living camera obscura." The project is a continuation of his exploration of the camera obscura in
Polyopticon VI, where he used mirrors, lenses, and "baffles" to distort and convert space in an abandoned ranch dwelling in Wyoming. Jackson defines the camera obscura as a "participational optics... that defines a conceptual space that is difficult to tackle directly."
Opening reception • 6-9pm • August 20
New American Art Union • 922 SE Ankeny St. • 503.231.8294
My excitement for Ethan's show is nearly indescribable. His focus on optical perceptions seems like a very good exhibition to follow Jacqueline's.
And sorry for the shameless self promotion, but I installed some work in the NAAU bathroom as a part of Rose McCormick's installation in there. My addition is the crackling white wall with fluorescent glowing white wood. We would all enjoy it if you checked it out.
