EMERGENCE Group Exhibition Opening

Special Program for Digital Art in Architecture [Part Two]

EMERGENCE group exhibition interpreting the notion of Space is a special program that reflects the theme of our June event, "Digital Art in Architecture." The exhibition is hosted in the Studio B of 3LD Art & Technology Center, a 1700-square-foot (62' x 27.5') flexible production space that can be configured in various ways from a black box or an open installation space. Six artists from New York, China Mainland, and Taiwan are invited to create an immersive environment with colors, forms, structures, patterns, symbols, movements, and images that keep emerging and growing with subtlety. The visitors will experience some moments of deep relaxation, fascination, and joy by contemplating and traveling into the unknown universe beyond the physical space.

For over a decade, Shaun Irons and Lauren Petty have been working collaboratively, seeking evocative and poetic combinations of video, film, audio, sculptural objects, and performance. Shaun and Lauren are Brooklyn-based media artists who make multi-disciplinary performances, multiple-screen media installations, single-channel works, documentaries and interactive video scores for live performance.

Their provocative, hybrid work has been exhibited in diverse locations in New York and internationally and was recently seen at BAM's Next Wave Festival (in collaboration with Phantom Limb Company), the Abrons Arts Center, The Chocolate Factory, Governors Island Arts Fair, and Anthology Film Archives in NYC, and the Center for Contemporary Art, Santa Fe, NM. Recently, they created a new dance and multi-media installation called Keep Your Electric Eye One Me, which was commissioned by HERE through their Artist Residency Program (HARP). In addition, they are also developing an impressionistic, backstage documentary portrait of ERS's acclaimed 8-hour theatrical event Gatz as well as a self-generating, video/sound installation called Atmospheres & Accidental Ghosts.
