UVA's sculptural installations and technology-based exhibition Vantage Pointsopens on Friday, April 28th, and is on view that evening at the spring Gallery Crawl. Vantage Points brings together two works, Present Shock and Vanishing Point 3:1 #3, both concerned with perspective and perception, and how we experience and try to make sense of the world around us.
UVA (United Visual Artists) is an internationally recognized, London-based collective founded in 2003 by British artist Matt Clark. UVA’s diverse body of work integrates new technologies with traditional media such as sculpture, performance, and site-specific installation. Drawing from sources ranging from ancient philosophy to theoretical science, their practice explores the cultural frameworks and natural phenomena that shape our cognition, creating instruments that manipulate our perception and expose the relativity of our experiences. Rather than material objects, UVA’s works are better understood as events in time, in which the performance of light, sound and movement unfolds.
