So Long Observing The Ray An exhibition by Dan Herschlein July 26 - August 2, 2013 Opening night (with performance) July 26, 7-9 pm A second performance during Perform Chinatown, July 27, 7-9pm Automata
An arrangement of temporary facades divides the space like the walls of an unfinished basement. Posters, projections, photographs and videos are embedded in the sheetrock and obscured by studs where traces of a frantic privacy struggle to be unearthed from the structure which supports them. So Long Observing The Ray negotiates the borders of personal space, where the individual begins and ultimately ends, within the home that he attempts to make his own.
Dan Herschlein lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. His work consists of projected handmade slides, as well as short videos made on outdated technology. Both explore the relationship between the degraded image and the physical body.
