The Flattening and Opening of Space (2006)
Collaboration with Margie Livingston
Video and Sound Installation
New Works Laboratory jointly sponsored by the Henry Art Gallery and 911 Media Arts Center September 12 - October 27, 2006
The collaboration between Bodle and Livingston explores the combination of their two practices — installation art and painting — to investigate the boundaries between 2-dimensionality and 3-dimensionality. Their project incorporates drawing, sound, and projected imagery to create the experience of being inside a perspective drawing. By opening what is usually flat, and flattening what is usually spatial, Bodle and Livingston challenge the viewer’s preconceptions of space.
