Transmeanderation Helix (3rd time’s a charm!)
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Drawings, Installations
Below are images of Transmeanderation Helix. This is the third time I have displayed this particular drawing installation. The first incarnation at my solo exhibition Schema, seen here, was a little over 29 feet and included a second black vinyl portion. The second incarnation from my solo exhibition Organism, seen here, was a mere 13 feet. And, now, for Cohabitants, it has been transformed (cut down actually) to a little over 16 feet to fit the space in which is currently resides.
The reason I reference Transmeanderation Helix as a drawing installation is because each time it is is installed it is: 1. cut down to fit into the space provided by the gallery, 2. adhered directly to the wall and 3. framed by custom moulding that is cut, painted, and nailed directly to the wall in each new incarnation. In this sense, it can technically be considered a site-specific installation (though I’m using the interpretation of that term very loosely).
One final note: I would like to thank Ed Mazure (my father) for all of the photos that you have been seeing from the Cohabitants show. (The photos below are credited to both Ed Mazure and the lovely Kyra Dosch-Klemer).

Special thanks to Adam Ansorge for all of his help putting this video together and to the Mazure family for lending out their HDTV for an extended period of time!
Rosetta
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Installations
Rosetta is comprised of grey and white vinyl prints adhered to the walls of the gallery and traverse approximately half of the gallery, including the white walls where Transmeanderation Helix is installed and the grey wall where Remnants of Taurus resides.
Rosetta was a very fun and interesting interactive project that took much longer to complete than I had originally planned. Though the overall scope of the project leans itself more toward the conceptual realm, I feel that it works well with the other pieces in the exhibit (as it was intended to) that are more focused on aesthetics than concept.
If you want to find out what Rosetta is all about, please refer to my previous posts:

Remnants of Taurus
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Installations, Prints
Only a few more pieces of artwork from my current exhibition Cohabitants at the William King Museum
left to post!
The piece pictured below is a series of lithographs with a large amount of custom mat cutting (thanks to Betsey-Rose at American Folk Art & Framing for letting me use your robotic mat cutter!). It is titled, Remnants of Taurus (lithography, mat board, and rubylith) and, from what I gather, is the least popular piece I included in the show.
*The video is not part of Remnants of Taurus.

Feero Molaf Duul (Part 3)
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Digital, Drawings, Installations
This is the final part of the Feero Molaf Duul installation. It is comprised of five individually framed pieces. The three large pieces are titled Altruism w/-1/2 Spin (24″ x 24″ graphite drawings) and the two small pieces are each a Portrait of an Elementary Particle (approx. 10″ x 10″ lenticular prints with rubylith overlay).
Here is a link to a past installation that I created using multiple lenticular prints of Portraits of Elementary Particles. It includes a video that illustrates how a lenticular print is viewed (its not the best video in the world, but hopefully you can get the idea).
Some close-up shots (from two different angles) of the lenticular print Portrait of an Elementary Particle (without rubylith overlay):
Feero Molaf Duul (Part 2)
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Digital, Installations, Prints
This part of Feero Molaf Duul consists of a long strip of grey paint extending to the ceiling with two white vinyl prints (thanks Logan!) adhered to it. Other than that, I don’t have much to say about this portion of the installation. I am much more interested in hearing what you have to say! Questions? Comments? Suggestions?
