Gallery Exhibition: Persistence of Vision: Works by Colleen Woolpert Onondaga Community College
Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College,
Syracuse
The exhibition, Persistence of Vision, by local artist Colleen Woolpert, presents work in photography, video, and interactive objects and installations that originated with the artist's experience working with visually impaired adults in Seattle in 2013. Questions about visualization and navigating through darkness spurned ideas related to the "the great unknown" and space exploration. When an artist residency brought Woolpert to Syracuse in January 2014, the thread continued as an investigation of early motion picture innovations of the late 1800s in Syracuse, and ultimately the invention of her own optical device. The flicker of one image displacing the next is the persistent blink of light upon darkness.
