Jake Moore

Jake Moore proposes work for both the vitrine and the gallery proper. The gallery proper would consist of a plinth and a series of large-scale prints that are 3-d scans of tree branches that have been imaged as triangular forms.  She sees scanning as a method of measuring the distance between objects, a kind of indexical relativism. The many measurements taken by the machine exist as a pint cloud or constellation until one connects them together to give the illusion of form.
The vitrine will feature ornis, which is a 20-foot long, helium filled, dirigible where the bladder or skin is made of white metallized nylon and its underbelly is covered with white goose feathers. By trapping this large evocation of bird within the vitrine, Moore establishes a circumstance wherein an inanimate object can conjure affect from the audience through context and materiality.

Maskull Lasserre - "Recital"

Maskull Lasserre proposes to exhibit three large sculptural works in the main gallery and eight smaller ones in the Vitrines, along with schematic drawings for the entire series. He anticipates completion of the series in December 2008.  The works address notions of class, culture and crafted artefact and reconsider the relationship of static sculptural objects within traditional gallery space.  Lasserre considers music as a metaphor shared by all these works. As the sculptures resemble, and function to some degree as mechanical musical instruments, the notion of an object having a function, a use, or purpose beyond its mute physical properties implicates the viewer in a moment of apprehension.  There is a possibility of Lasserre playing the instruments (main gallery), in a way that references the classical music recital.
