The Imperfecta Gallery presents ANCESTORS, an exhibition featuring Reese Bowes. On view on May 3-31, the show features artworks created to draw one's attention "away from the digital edifice and interface, by subverting it and destructing it and choosing materials that mimic and mock it." As the artist explains: "To think beyond the strictures and structures erected around our physical and mental bodies is an ever present struggle. The commodification of expression in all its forms, a weight bearing down on all of us. Belief in other worlds and benign futures becoming mere figments of our collective imagination." With ANCESTORS, the artist explores how decoupled true images have become from reality yet reminds us that we have the ability of creating work that maintains humanity, employing technology in its construction. Each piece is a collection of images superimposed and overexposed, then chromatically divided equally across three plates that serve to create a static hologram.

Time: 3:30 - 8:00 pm
