Paintings that signify a historical, sublime conversation, whence vacuity is more apropos than seeing things for what they are; colored light unifies the exhibition (and alludes to as much), yet it's not clear what benefit to each part, especially painting surfaces on such a (desired) scale
Exit.
A clear image about things moving light to dark (and beyond) without the confusion between media and form with this grouping of works. Conversations about time as it pertains to the space itself rather than the constellations within. The whole (lighting) dominates the parts (paintings, sculptures), and so if we don' care about seeing things in their proper (apropos) light, then why should we consider them at all. While the sound from Red Emerson be excepted from this concern and also valued as also the value of light presence should (in terms of art concern and well beyond), the view that this last image presents could just easily be any one of the others, a speaker, a mic stand, or mural-sized painting. After all, it was available. Thus, interesting concepts were cluttered by contextual confusion, especially where seeing (and seeing a point) is concerned.
