November 2-26, 2006
Hours: Noon-5pm Thursday – Sunday

Opolis pairs the work of Salvatore Panatteri, based in Sydney, Australia, with that of Thom Heileson, based in Seattle, concentrating on the use of lens media and invented techniques to visually negotiate the urban environment.

Heileson presents a new video installation in which imagery from the urban environment is digitally altered, abstracted, and reassembled, resulting in a time-based tapestry of the rhythms, textures, and simultaneity of the city in flux.

Panatteri utilizes photography to engage with the built environment. He will present extended exposure photographs of urban settings in which activity and events dissipate, recontextualizing architectural spaces as abstract realities.

This exhibition is supported in part by the Mayor’s Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs.
