Regen Projects is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by Los Angeles artist James Welling. This exhibition will present new photographs from the "Glass House" series and a video installation "Sun Pavilion." The "Glass House" photographs were taken over the course of three years (October 2006 to October 2009) at the iconic Philip Johnson Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut. The photographs of the House (1949), the Lake Pavilion (1962), the Lincoln Kirstein sculpture (1985), and the Brick Guest House (1949) were made with an array of color filters positioned in front of the lens of a digital camera. The luminous and sublime "Glass House" photographs utilize color in bold and unexpected ways and further the artist's examination of light, color, and reflectivity and how these elements articulate architectural form.
Here's a Hammer Lecture where artists Susan Rankaitis and James Welling and UCLA Associate Professor of Art History George Baker debate a host of approaches to the abstract photographic experience in this panel discussion moderated by Lyle Rexer, the author of The Edge of Vision: The Rise of Abstraction in Photography.
