Hodgetts + Fung: kē-ärō'-skŏŏr'ō Discussion and Closing Reception September 28, 2007

kē-ärō'-skŏŏr'ō is a new site-specific installation in the SCI-Arc Gallery by Los Angeles-based firm Hodgetts + Fung. The exhibition deals with visual perception, evoking traditions dating back to its namesake chiaroscuro, the Renaissance technique of using light and shade in pictorial representation. Instead of controlling the gallery space using physical, material constructs, kē-är'ō-skŏŏr'ō uses a dematerializing process to better understand the subtle nature of spatial perception. The idea of dematerialization led to experimentation with negative space and in-between space, concluding in a reversal of the traditional relationship between figure and field.
