INNER ORBIT

May 25 - July 21, 2018 Opening Reception: Friday, May 25, 5-7 pm Artist Talk: Saturday, June 9, 2-3 pm

form & concept presents Inner Orbit, an exhibition of contemporary artists from across the United States with deeply personal or cultural visions of outer space. The show appears in conjunction with Santa Fe Futurition, the Currents New Media Festival, and the Santa Fe Institute’s Interplanetary Festival. From a human perspective, the night sky is a densely layered cultural landscape. Long before they were subjects of scientific study, stars were laden with countless overlapping mythologies. Fortune tellers, sailors, writers, architects and artists have all projected profound meaning into the cosmos—tying earthly events to the movements of heavenly bodies. Inner Orbit spotlights contemporary artists who meld fine art and craft mediums with technology for a fresh look at the firmament.

Participating Artists

Katie Dorame, Nina Elder, Stephan Hillerbrand & Mary Magsamen, Case Jernigan, Drew Lenihan, Matthew Mullins, Eric William Carroll, Andrew Yang, Marcus Zúñiga

The White Sands Missile Range is a world-famous site of military bomb testing, but its recent history is tied to an isolated village 600 miles to the north. For ten years during the Cold War, Green River, Utah was the launch site for test missiles that detonated in White Sands. That’s the reason Arizona artist Erika Lynne Hanson landed there for a month-long research project in 2017. Hanson’s time in Green River marked the start of a major body of work regarding the scraps from the missile tests. In a new series of weavings and video artworks, Hanson uses a little-known language to inspire nuanced perspectives on these sites. Her artworks pose open questions about the nature of humanity and our relationship to nature.

36 Letter Form

For this first assignment we use the Gestalt concept to play with all 26 alphabets form and all the typefaces. We started by making 36 different form of gestalt within 6' by 6' square box using Adobe Indesign software. We tried to manipulate all the form so that they look unique and different from the original letter and balancing the white and black shape. During the critiques we cross out some that not really works and narrow them into 6 pieces that look interesting by the help of professor Fender and classmates.
