On view through March 20, Louise Despont: Energy Scaffolds and Information Architecture and Jennifer Bartlett: Hospital
In the Hospital pastels, Bartlett visually expresses what might be called “hospital time,” a temporality marked by the alteration of periods of intense treatment and extreme boredom that fosters a hyper-attunement to small changes in one's immediate surroundings. From pastel to pastel, Bartlett tracks micro-shifts, rendering similar landscapes at different times of day and under different weather conditions or drawing the way a railing in a corridor stretches into the distance from two distinct vantage points.
