Opening Reception: Friday, January 13, 6:00 to 8:00 pm
Gallery Talk: Wednesday, February 15, 6:00 to 7:30 pm

Photographer Christine Dalenta and paper sculptor Benjamin Parker collaborate and practice an innovative combination of origami and photography, creating cameraless images through the action of light on folded light-sensitive paper.

Since the very beginning of photography, artists have placed three-dimensional objects onto light-sensitive paper to form a representation in two dimensions. This technique and its resulting images, known as photograms, are currently enjoying a revival in contemporary photography. Dalenta and Parker’s images are similar to photograms, but employ a method where not only is there no camera, there is no object. The paper itself both modulates and records the light simultaneously.

SCIENCE ON SCREEN:

HOW TO BUILD A TIME MACHINE

Sunday, January 15 | 1:00 PM Science on Screen is a film series that pairs feature films with innovative and engaging local scientists. Before the film, Ronald Mallett, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus and Research Professor, Department of Physics, University of Connecticut, will discuss the real promise and possibilities of time travel. Dr. Mallett will field Q&A after the film. From filmmaking to physics, controlling mortality has long been a creative and scientific pursuit. Fixated on the possibility of conquering time, two men find inspiration by bringing facets of H.G. Wells' 1895 novel The Time Machine to life.

University of Connecticut's theoretical physicist Dr. Ron Mallett has dedicated his lifetime of research to better understanding black holes and their time portal potential. Meanwhile, animator Rob Niosi has devoted years to obsessively replicating the time machine prop from the 1960 feature film adaptation of Wells' book. Both are driven by personal tragedies that time won't heal.

Using Niosi's meticulous construction of his replica machine set against archival material where he describes the mechanics of motion pictures, Jay Cheel crafts an entertaining exploration of the power of film to act as a gateway to the fourth dimension. These cinematic visuals entwine with Mallett's compelling explanation of how science fiction might not be that far-fetched after all.

 Object and Influence

Closing Reception

Saturday, January 21, 6-9pm

Object and Influence builds a dialogue amongst a large group of working artists based on their shared experience working in a studio environment and the information that populates that space.

 Curated by Jason Silva, Object and Influence is an attempt to explore starting points. The space where ideas begin, before being reformulated, repurposed and rebuilt.

Source images dot most artist’s studio walls. A postcard. 

A ripped page from a catalogue.

Odd ephemera lines most artist’s shelves. 

A ceramic jar or an antique toy.

In honor of the 30th Anniversary, the jury for this year's show will be the founders of the Women's Works show: Lynn Carlson, Doris Davis Gallagher, Nan Seidler, Jeanine Soldner, Pat Tanner, and Alice White. For more info on our Founders and to see past Women's Works shows, please visit www.womensworks.org.

Our judge for this year's show will be Brenda Oelbaum, the current president of the Women's Caucus for Art. (Please visit www.nationalwca.org for more info on the Women's Caucus for Art; and www.brendaoelbaum.me for more info on Brenda's artwork.) 

To apply to the show, please visit www.CallForEntry.org. You can find Women's Works under the listing of calls. The cost to apply is $40, and each artist can submit up to 3 images. The deadline for entering is January 31, 2017. 

The Eclipse Mill Gallery is inviting professional artists working in any media to submit to its spring juried exhibition: inDIVISIBLE.

The 2016 political campaign season was incredibly stressful and contentious. It divided families, distanced friends, and challenged our perceptions of the country at large. The subsequent election of Donald J. Trump as the nation's 45th President has deepened the divide among citizens and residents of the country. This exhibition, inDIVISIBLE, will explore themes of democracy and the American electoral system. We are looking for works that are reflective of your thoughts, experiences, and reactions to the political events of the past ten months and the impact these events have had on you personally, professionally, socially, philosophically, and/or culturally.

All local, regional, and national artists are welcome to apply. Call deadline is Friday, February 3 at 11:59pm. Submission fee is $30 for 3 entries; $5 for each entry thereafter.  inDIVISIBLE will be on view at the Eclipse Mill Gallery March 10 - May 14, 2017.
