Gabrielle Mertz: "Here, Data"

Please join us for the opening reception of “Here, Data” an exhibition of works by artist GABRIELLE MERTZ on Wednesday, January 30th from 6pm to 9pm at SL Gallery

Mertz has created a site-specific, immersive light installation using real-time visual data from 24-hour cable news to create a colorfield projection and spatial work. As the source feed is live, the work changes and reacts throughout the run of the exhibition, functioning as a type of live performance and moving painting. The exhibition also includes photographic works that utilize and translate data from media and film sources into color, pattern, and form. Moving from the digital to analog and back again, Mertz is visually reading and rereading data in the process, digitally sculpting and building the data into new structures and images.

“Here, Data” remains on view through March 22. Contact info@sl.gallery or 212-967-5945 for any questions or additional information. This event is free and open to the public.
