NYAB Event - Liz Wendelbo "Opticks Works"

Liz Wendelbo "Opticks Works"

Microscope Gallery

This event has ended.

The French/Norwegian Wendelbo is a Brooklyn-based artist working primarily with photography and film and is a member of the analog electronic duo “Xeno & Oaklander.” Opticks features photographic prints, Polaroids, and works on paper related to Wendelbo’s new abstract 16mm film series ‘Opticks XVIII, XIX, XX – Sets & Lights’ – shown at the New Museum in October – which is also on display.
Together the works in Opticks form a conversation on film and the fictitious universe it inhabits. Inspired by the early light and color experiments of physicists Sir Isaac Newton and J.C. Maxwell, and using a film camera registration test chart as the main subject, Wendelbo captures the fetishistic appeal of the gear – the camera, the film, the backdrop and the lights.
