The Middle Room x Good Naked are pleased to present DREAM MACHINE, a group exhibition opening Friday, January 10th from 6-8pm. The title of this exhibition calls to Brion Gysin’s The Dreamachine, a light art device invented in 1959 wherein stroboscopic flickering was set up to influence eidetic visual effects. The twelve women artists in this exhibition activate a range of materials toward similarly oblique ends. Their rhythmic structuring of color, light, and surface presents opportunities for close looking and emergent visions. The artists in the group all pull from observational research as they build their resulting abstract forms, inviting recall, pause, and even potential hallucination, conjuring new realities and illusory movement.
DREAM MACHINE is a curatorial collaboration between two galleries, organized by Jaqueline Cedar and Shannon Rae Fincke. The exhibition will be on view January 10 - February 23, 2025.
