Add to Calendar 2015-04-27 16:00:00 2015-04-27 17:00:00 Sam Moree to present lecture at Spring 2015 Holofest Sam Moree will present a lecture on holography. Sam Moree is an artist who has ben working with holography, video and sculpture for over 35 years. He was closely associated with the New York Museum of Holography in SoHo where he participated in numerous exhibitions and presented an inspirational solo show, ʻFluxʼ in 1982.Sam Moree co-founded the New York Holographic Laboratories in 1977 with Dan Schweitzer and joined the Center for the Holographic Arts in 2001 enabling a number of artists from around the world to produce stunning holographic artwork. As well as being a mentor for many well-known holographers, Sam teaches a holography class for the School of Visual Arts in his Manhattan studio.Sam is renowned for his sculptural pieces that incorporate holograms and his work with rainbow holography. In 1996 he was awarded a fellowship at the Academy of Media Arts (KHM) Cologne, Germany. Some of Moreeʼs most notable exhibitions have been at Center Pompidou in 1985; the Kuntshalle Hamburg in 1987; Pulhiem Museum of Holography in 1985; and the Dali Museum in St Petersburg, Florida 1999. The following is his Artist's statement :I look at holography as a dance of balance - a Rosetta Stone - between Art and Science. The Primitive and the Sophisticated. The Past and the Future. A balancing beam of Light and Dark.Working with diverse material - metal, stone, neon, plastic, paint and glass, the sculpture echoes in a holographic window. With my work I use stark, almost symbolic sculpture as a diving board to tumble into a holographic graffiti landscape.At times the hologram is an arm of an image in search of its sculptural body, or the sculpture is a directing arrow to illusionary imagery. Other times they come together dancing on that balancing beam.The image time-travels across the laser table. A black and white interfewrence pattern is captured in a scientific chiaroscuro on the plate. This encoded `stone' translates reality into a dream illusion.My imagery works in and out of focus, becoming a peripheral, optical soup.To capture the image, one must dance a near-tribal two-step which can be read as a mathematical equation forming different answers each time it is observed.Holography is my dance partner - with balance.For more on Sam Moree go to http://holocenter.org/artists/sam-moree/ 0006 Smith Laboratory OSU ASC Drupal 8 ascwebservices@osu.edu America/New_York public

Sam Moree is an artist who has ben working with holography, video and sculpture for over 35 years. He was closely associated with the New York Museum of Holography in SoHo where he participated in numerous exhibitions and presented an inspirational solo show, ʻFluxʼ in 1982.

Sam is renowned for his sculptural pieces that incorporate holograms and his work with rainbow holography. In 1996 he was awarded a fellowship at the Academy of Media Arts (KHM) Cologne, Germany.

The following is his Artist's statement :

I look at holography as a dance of balance - a Rosetta Stone - between Art and Science. The Primitive and the Sophisticated. The Past and the Future. A balancing beam of Light and Dark.

Working with diverse material - metal, stone, neon, plastic, paint and glass, the sculpture echoes in a holographic window. With my work I use stark, almost symbolic sculpture as a diving board to tumble into a holographic graffiti landscape.

At times the hologram is an arm of an image in search of its sculptural body, or the sculpture is a directing arrow to illusionary imagery. Other times they come together dancing on that balancing beam.

The image time-travels across the laser table. A black and white interfewrence pattern is captured in a scientific chiaroscuro on the plate. This encoded `stone' translates reality into a dream illusion.

My imagery works in and out of focus, becoming a peripheral, optical soup.

To capture the image, one must dance a near-tribal two-step which can be read as a mathematical equation forming different answers each time it is observed.

Holography is my dance partner - with balance.
