Thanks to everyone who made it out to Root Division on Saturday March 9th to check out the show and interact with the bots! Included in the exhibition are two new drawings from my “Embryo Series” and a live interactive robotic drawing installation.

Here is a cool write up featured in SF Weekly that reviews the show:

The symmetry of a dew-laden spiderweb. The whorls and lines etched into your skin. The swirling clouds of gas and dust being pushed out from a distant supernova. The universe is full of some heart-stoppingly beautiful visuals. Science is ever making new discoveries too, though as any researcher can tell you, sometimes it’s the accidents that lead you to uncover the next big revelation. Art can work the same way. The exhibition “Permutation Unfolding” brings together a group of artists using this type of intuitive process in their practice and focuses on the biological shapes that often result. Sandra Ono starts with the most utilitarian of materials (rubber bands, dental floss, nail polish) but transforms them into wonderfully eerie sculptures that look like they could have crawled up onto their plinths all on their own. Peter Foucault’s Embryo ink drawing appears similarly organic with hundreds of lines forming into an urchin-like creature that was actually created partly with the help of an audience and sound-activated robots. Meanwhile Tobias Tovera relinquishes some control to chemical reactions themselves, dissolving iron and adding pigment until the shapes that resolve look like they are straight out of one of those exploding supernovae. These artists don’t fear accidents and instead use them to mesmerizing effect. — By Heidi De Vries

PERMUTATION UNFOLDING

Second Saturday Event: Saturday, March 9, 2013, 7-10pm
Including Creative Station, a free all-ages art activity in our Studio 2 Classroom
and sound performance by Markus Hawkins at 8pm
Exhibition Dates: March 6-23, 2013Panel Discussion: Wednesday, March 20, 7-9 pm FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
Featuring: Jamie Brunson, Randy Colosky, Peter Foucault, Rebecca Shortle, & Tobias Tovera
Root Division presents Permutation Unfolding, a group exhibition examining the realm of process in relationship to natural systems of self- organization and transformation. Permutation Unfolding introduces art practices that result from processes of intuitive facture, repetition, and chance, created organically through accumulation.   Biomorphic forms or suggestions of other natural formations frequently emerge as a result of the artists’working processes, including macroscopic or microscopic life forms, neural networks, macromolecular or cellular structures, and geologic formations. The essence and beauty of each piece is the equilibrium between what is intended and what is achieved: a process that results neither from control over these forces nor surrender to them, but rather from immersion in them.

Room Art Gallery is pleased to present our February Featured Artist, Peter Foucault. A Bay area native, Foucault’s artistic endeavors cross many mediums — from paper to video to installation — and all of which are fueled by his passion for drawing and mark making. He has created a series of Drawing-Projects, which utilize mechanized systems developed by the artist that produce complex abstract compositions. At the root of these projects is a constant tension between control and complete loss of control. Moreover, viewer interactivity plays an integral part in his drawing installations. Participants work in conjunction with a robotic mechanism over the duration of the exhibition to directly influence the outcome of each large-scale drawing. Process oriented and concept driven, Foucault often utilizes objects that reference printmaking techniques as well as complex multiplicitous perspectival states.

Check out the video below to see the artist at work.

 

Come out February 5th from 6-8pm to share a glass of wine, meet the artist and see a live demonstration by Peter Foucault!
