performance by Phong Tran at 8:00 PM
Opening on Friday, May 3rd at 7:00 PM, the exhibition will run throughout the month of May at the Compère Collective in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The opening reception will feature a special performance by Brooklyn-based composer and multimedia artist Phong Tran at 8pm, known for his work exploring emotional experience in digital and electronic mediums.
Will Eatough's dynamic photographs, prints, and video pieces, capture the transformations of clouds over time while his large-scale printing translates the cloud into frozen contemplative objects. Eatough's work is informed by a disciplined, quiet observation rooted in his queer experience, presenting clouds as continually evolving forms. His interest in clouds stems from photography’s ability to capture different speeds of time, allowing clouds to be seen as objects in permanent states of transformation.
Will Fryer's evocative hanging light sculptures delve into clouds as embodiments of internal experience and metaphors for the nature of queerness. Fryer's abstract representations aim to capture the subjective encounter with clouds, inviting personal interpretation. Fryer's hanging sculptures interact with a light source. His work is driven by a curiosity about interiors and interiority, and he considers clouds as embodiments of interior experience.
