Hollister Gallery

"Algorithmix" by Lina Giraldo

January 23 - March 14
Opening Reception: January 31 at 5 p.m.
Artist Talk: February 5 at 5 p.m.
Lina Giraldo will be exhibiting her compelling video-works: Plus and Minus, Fractal Maps, and Rain. Fractal Maps land mass reinterpretation reminds us of politics influence on geography. Plus and Minus, a screen based interactive environment modeling system that shows world AIDS rates from 1990-2007, addresses political action (and inaction) as viewers make on-screen choices to potentially speed or slow the spread of the disease. Rain demonstrates the massive accumulation of discarded plastic bottles and paper cups that we produce through our consumption habits. Lina Giraldo has shown in Boston, Bogota, and Sante Fe, her work has been reviewed in the Boston Globe, The Phoenix and ABC News.

“Sightlines” by David Akiba

March 26 - May 25
Opening reception: March 28 from 5-7 p.m.
Artist Talk: April 4 at 5 p.m.
During “the fraction of a second that the shutter is open” David Akiba’s telephoto lens captures solitary figures as they travel through a nearly unpopulated urban landscape. The aerial viewpoint creates a layered space in the photographs that echos the experience of moving through a city. In his images of bridges, bus stations, and airports “the places people pass through” rather than the places people go, Akiba captures surprising moments of solitude in Boston and Chelsea. David Akiba received his MFA from RISD, his work is in the collections of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, The Library of Congress, The Fogg Art Museum, The Brooklyn Art Museum, The DeCordova Museum and other public and private collections.
