PLACE

Artist Talk: Sunday March 11th 5 - 6pm

Daniel J Glendening & Jason Starin are working collaboratively on New Function. Glendening will be presenting new objects and images, riffing on themes of mortality, impotence, hope, and prosthetic spirituality. While Starin will be guided by his interest in how digital material influences our notion of physical form in reciprocal and possibly reactionary manners.  Starin’s practice reconsiders function as being more than utility by extending its meaning into the experiential need to comprehend with our hands.  As the notion of the object advances digitally, it is his belief that archiving experiences tangibly will continue to define human nature and, in the context of the virtual age, is an increasingly important act to follow.
