APERTURE<\/strong>
\nExhibition dates: February 27 \u2013 March 5, 2014<\/strong>
\nOpening Reception: Thursday, Feb 27, 2014 \/\u00a07 – 11 p.m.
\nDeadline: February 24, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

APERTURE is an optics based contemporary art exhibit that emphasizes the power of perspective. The word \u2018aperture\u2019 in Optics refers to the hole through which light and image travel. In this sense we explore photography, images and visual artworks in their ability to capture a moment and perspective and relay it to others, opening a hole that shares a glimpse of one person\u2019s perspective to another. In Geometry the word \u2018aperture\u2019 is the inclination of lines, which meet in a point. This is also interesting in terms of artist\u2019s assemblage of seemingly disparate information, objects or settings and uniting them in one frame as a cohesive, or sometimes in cohesive, perspective.<\/p>\n

We are looking for works that employ, represent, explore and consider unique, alternative and unconventional perspectives. This may be in terms of literal perspective, focal points, composition, palette etc.<\/p>\n
