Looking Through the Other End of a Telescope consists of four installations by artists Jon Fisher & Jeff Shore, Aaron Rothman, Mungo Thomson and Jennifer West that experiment with the process of creating and presenting moving imagery. Working in photography, film and video, these artists challenge perceptual norms and push the boundaries of the medium in dynamic and provocative ways. The exhibition explores a series of oppositional dualities: real versus illusory, scientific versus mystical, micro versus macro and interior versus exterior. It is twelfth in SMoCA’s ongoing southwestNET series that focuses on emerging contemporary artists of the Southwestern United States.
Curated by associate curator Cassandra Coblentz.
