SPACE:LIGHT OPEN CALL

This year's SPACE:LIGHT has a theme centered on Alternate Realities designed to challenge the spatial and temporal experience of our audience. Alternate worlds, dreams, different timelines and portals made of various light elements are welcome.

Open to New York State artists with preference to emerging, early career, under represented artists and artists in Queens. Enrolled students are not eligible for this program. Please consider current and potential coronavirus limitations.

While we provide assistance, artists usually install their own work. We recommend visiting the gallery - yes it will be dark, the only lights in the gallery are the artworks.

To apply please send your artwork description (under 2 pages) as a PDF by September 5th, 2021 before midnight.

All submissions should include an artist statement and short biography. Label all PDFs with your name.

Send to patrice (at) holocenter.org and ritenez (at) gmail.com with Space:Light in the subject line.

October 2 – October 30, 2021 (Show preview will be held September 30th)

HoloCenter Seminar 2. "What is a Hologram?" A panel discussion with leading holographic artists.

06/14/2021

Tomorrow is our second HoloSeminar, this time with 6 holographic artists talking about “What is a Hologram” from their perspective as holographic artists.

Finishing up today, we are telling you about our 6th panelist, Dieter Jung. We think that this excerpted paragraph by Frank Popper for Dieter’s Paris exhibition "Invisible-Visible" in 2008 very ably expresses the magic of Dieter Jung’s art:

"Dieter Jung is one of the pioneers in holographic art. This art, apart from being a form of optical illusion, constitutes a specific phase in the history of Light Art. Illusionist tendencies exist in art since the earliest times and were at certain periods even considered as forming an integral part of Western art. As to the luminous phenomenon with its curious ambiguity between presence and absence it is at the heart of all holographic art and can be compared to our perception of the stars whose physical presence has been superseded by the luminous wave which reaches our eye long after having been emitted. The aesthetics of absence has been the privilege of the mystics of all times, but its metaphysical side is counterbalanced by its scientific connotation in the area of holographic art."

Join us tomorrow, 6/15/21 at noon EST to listen to all of these artists as we dialog about the many aspects of holograms that have drawn them into a multi-dimensional creative practice: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/holocenter-seminar-2-what-is-a-hologram-an-artist-perspective-tickets-157427155861?aff=erelexpmlt

The image of one of Dieter's holograms below is entitled "Into the Rainbow" 1983. 42cm x 32 cm.

Continuing with our panelists for the next HoloSeminar on the subject of “What is a Hologram” we would like to introduce, Dr. Pearl John. Amongst her many academic achievements she holds an MA in Holography from the Royal College of Art and she completed her doctorate in art and holography in 2019 at De Montfort University.

You can join us for this event by going to:

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/holocenter-seminar-2-what-is-a-hologram-an-artist-perspective-tickets-157427155861

Pearl John has exhibited her artwork widely, most recently at the Aveiro City Museum, Portugal and Gallery 286 in London in 2018. She won an A Space Arts Talent Development Bursary in 2019 to create full color three-dimensional family trees and has spent the last year writing, contributing book chapters for two publications: one on the affective impact of robotic artwork, and the other reflecting on her experience as a practice-based researcher. Pearl John has an interest in humanizing technology in her art practice and is also committed to teaching. She also has a holography studio in the Physics and Astronomy department at the University of Southampton where she works as the Public Engagement Leader. It is here that she engages the public with the department’s photonics research, encouraging more young people to study Physics.

Join us on Tuesday 6/15/21 at noon EST to listen to our panel as they explore their fascination with the many creative aspects of Holographic Imagery.

This time we would like to introduce you to Dr. Andy Pepper, an artist and an academic, and one of our panelists for our next HoloSeminar on Tuesday 6/15/21 at noon EST.

You can join us for the seminar by registering at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/holocenter-seminar-2-what-is-a-hologram-an-artist-perspective-tickets-157427155861?aff=erelexpmlt&fbclid=IwAR0ZYCkUxYk9c6lEi6E_iuhio2Ie9LJaQKfks0XVPPa_4oZSj8J3jsdcZFc

Working with holography, projected light and installations, Andy uses these creative tools to investigate the unsupported mark, ‘thereness’ and the peripheral view. He has written extensively on the subject of creative holography, focusing on the critical engagement of artists and curators.

In the mid-1970s at the American Cultural Center, Paris, Andy saw his first laser hologram. In the early 1980s, while resident as a Fulbright Scholar at the Museum of Holography, he made his first hologram under the direction of Dan Schweitzer and Sam Moree at New York Holographic Labs.

He was awarded a Ph.D. for his practice-based research from the University of Reading, UK, in which his thesis was made up of holographic artifacts. He has acted as an external examiner for key Ph.D. submissions dealing with creative holography and light.

He draws in space.
