Galway, Ireland native and New Orleans based multi-media artist, Jane Cassidy, composes light and sound together to create absorbing multi-sensory experiences.
Moving away from traditional projection techniques, she explores the depth of space, imploring light refraction, fog and sound as a tangible and meditative visual and auditory experience.
Her solo show Swells for the Night Season opens at Parse Gallery on May 3rd, from 6-10pm.

Our friends Julie and Julien recently launched their site, selling their vintage German lamps, collected over the years from flea markets and antique shops around Berlin.
These lamps are currently no longer in production and are historical objects, marked by the influence of the design from East Germany in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.

New York-based Anthony McCall’s unique projections, which he has been developing since the 1970s, exist at the boundaries between cinema, sculpture and drawing: animated lines are projected in a dark room filled with a light haze, allowing viewers to step into the beam of light and change its appearance.
Berlin’s Hamburger Bahnhof will be showing works that McCall created beginning in 2003 after a 20-year break. Truly amazing.

Prolific Chilean-born and NY-based artist Iván Navarro creates complex and visually stunning sculptures out of fluorescent light. Using the actual lighting fixtures as a basic building material, he creates radiant objects, which are at once functional, everyday objects.
Iván’s piece, The Fence is currently on display at the UNO St. Claude Gallery as part of Prospect.2 New Orleans, until January 29th. Nighttime will yield better results.
