Reception / Thursday, September 02, 6–8pm
Artist Talk / Saturday, September 04, 2–3pm

Kirk Lang, Nola Avienne and Jana Brevick experiment with work that is phenomenologically open and elicits a visceral response. Their investigations in the chemistries of the body, kinetic instrumentation and tiny universes explore not only the result of a creative process, but the creative process itself.

Working with fundamental materials integral to life, iron, salt and blood, Nola Avienne takes a formalistic approach to chaos by intuitively applying scientific methodologies to record personal observations and theories.

Experimental Interactionist Jana Brevick plays with tools, diagrams and systems that harness obsolete technologies and accidental cartologies to create material driven objects through the manipulation of scale and dimension.

In an attempt to blend the practices of both science and kineticism, Kirk Lang explores the history of scientific instrumentation and submits his findings in the form of interactive, found-object sculptures.
