Launa Bacon
New installation: A Council of Nicaea
June 12 - 30, 2008
Opening Reception: June 12, 6 â 9 pm, during the Downtown Art Walk
A Council of Nicaea, Launa Bacon’s latest multi-media installation, examines psychic states that frequently remain unnoticed in daily life. Bacon presents a series of visual parables, observing the fundamental qualities of human existence, paying special attention to the ideas of creation and lifecycle.
The installation features a triptych of large paintings outfitted with small LCD screens which display video content, echoing the narrative and characters of the paintings. The combination of still and moving images highlights the theme of transformation. At the opening, performance artist Tiffany Trenda will add another dimension to the installation, creating a live-action drama at the center of the vast unfinished space of the Continental. Trenda will be joined in a large sculptural pool by transparent, floating tombstones molded by Bacon, creating an ominous mood.
