Exhibit Details

REFRACTED PLANES:
Vicki DaSilva & Mia Yoon
October 02 - 25, 2008
   DaSilva's night photographs utilize a lengthy single frame time exposure. She does so to capture and manipulate movement. By continuously moving fluorescent lighting along tracks and pulleys during the exposure, she produces blocks of color that undulate along the landscape towards the viewer. It is a refreshingly physical approach in an increasingly digital field. The result is a striking series of photographs that inject the electricity of light and its accompanying color into the stillness of the night's terrain.

Mia Yoon uses her light installations as an attempt to force a seemingly intangible energy field into sculptural creations. Her pieces, such as Cascade, an arrangement of horizontal boxes capable of being reinstalled according to the dictates of their environs, at first seem pristine exercises in geometric forms. Upon closer inspection, however, they are sophisticated studies of blended oils that glow in an array of colors on proximity to the light sources.

Vicki DaSilva was born in Bethesda, Maryland in 1960. She studied fine arts at Kutztown University, concentrating in photography, and received her BFA in 1983. Beginning in 2004, DaSilva started using a modular portable track system to allow the fluorescent tube to follow a sloping hillside. DaSilva has had solo exhibitions at Art Gotham in New York and Cedar Crest College in Allentown. Her group shows include Photography Now 2008 at Center for Photography at Woodstock, Darkness, Darkness at the Boston Convention Center, and shows at Silver Eye Center for Photography and a traveling exhibition that started at the Lancaster Museum and traveled to six institutions in Pennsylvania. Her work was included in the catalogue for the 2006 exhibition, Light Art from Artificial Light, at the ZKM/Museum for Contemporary Art, Karlsruhe, Germany. North Carolina State University invited her last spring to complete a piece on its campus.

Mia Yoon was born in Seoul, South Korea, and she moved to New York City in 1972. She received training in the city's Arts Students League and The Pratt Institute. Her works have been prominent in the North Carolina art scene since her 1999 inclusion in the Contemporary Art Museum's 99 Days program. She has also exhibited in Artspace, the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Wilmington's SimmonsWright Gallery, and Atlanta's Momus Gallery.
