Lia Halloran "Dark Skate"
DCKT Contemporary
This event has ended.
The ten photographs on view from the "Dark Skate" series were taken at night in various Los Angeles locations ranging from skate parks and backyard ramps to skate-able areas such as the Los Angeles River and other spaces that are appropriated (or re-appropriated) by skateboarders. The images are also drawings: light is used to form the drawing line while the artist skateboards through the different venues in the dark. The lines in the photographs behave at moments like physical objects, as if a light hangs above the architecture of a ramp, while in others the lines break apart into flurries of abstraction. The images also have ghost-like connotations, showing action with no trace of a figure, leaving an after image of where but not of whom.
