"Mid Air"

May 19-June 9, 2001 

Opening: Saturday, May 19, 4PM - 8PM

For a moment a thing exists between two states, suspended. Lifted off the ground, it defies gravity. Placed in an arbitrarily measured space, it shifts its scale. En route between its source and its destination, it moves on airwaves or is telepresent.

Mid Air is an exhibition of sculptural works that draw our attention to air as a medium of sound and vision, and as an elemental life force.  

Gape (1999) by Andrea Polli (Chicago) is a digital media installation using eye-tracking software. 

Fire Bell System (2000) and Robot Study 1 (2000) by Ken Gregory (Winnipeg) are computer-controlled, electro-mechanical audio and robotics installations. 

Large Balloon, Average Human, Small Planet (1997-2000) by Tegan Smith (Toronto) is a visualization of breathing as life force.
