An opening
reception for the exhibition will take place at The Quarry on July 10, 2016,
2pm to 5pm. Robert will be present for an artist talk Sunday July 24 at 2pm.*
As an
interdisciplinary artist, Robert Maloney has often incorporated “space” into
his visual memories/experience. Inspired by the fluid and flawed process of our
deteriorating memories, Maloney’s Building Memories installation at CAI Gallery
utilizes digital projection of portraits that are superimposed onto
architecturally inspired structures made of topographic maps and thin strips of
wood. The portraits ameliorate and deteriorate through a series of time lapse
animations, as the imagery is projected onto the structures, they dissolve and
reform at different stages of recognition.
The skeletal
structures fragment the imagery into a field of cubistlike architectural
shadows. “We struggle to make out the features embedded in the structures in the
same way that we excavate the memories of the individuals and dwellings of our
past…” as Maloney stated. In this installation, a soundtrack of ambient and
rhythmic sounds will accompany the video footage to create a fully immersive
experience for the viewer.
In
conjunction with “Building Memories” at CAI, a joint exhibit of Robert’s
monotype prints and mixed media wall constructions will be on view at
Rapscallion Table & Tap, a restaurant/bar only two miles away from CAI
grounds (artist reception July 31, 3pm 5pm).
Robert
Maloney is an Assistant Professor at the Massachusetts College of Art and
Design. His recent work focuses on the connections between the temporary
materials of our manmade, urban structures and how these fragile forms relate
to the erosion of memory. His work has been featured in Creative Quarterly
Magazine, Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine, The Pulse of Mixed Media (North Light
Books), Art Revolution (North Light Books) and Artscope Magazine and his work
is held in the collection of Wellington Management, Liberty Mutual and private
collections.
* The
gallery is closed for a private event July 16.
CAI’s
admission fee is $5 for students and $10 for adults, which will include a
tour of the studio and the sculpture park. For a group rate (10+),
