The Church invites you to the Exhibition Opening Reception of Space - Sight - Line. The reception is free and open to the public, no RSVP is Necessary. Space - Sight - Line, explores the way artists play with visual perception. The perspective of the viewer is a key dynamic in this show. The works included are playfully deceptive, often using ingenious techniques that invite the viewer to stop and rethink where they are and what they are seeing. Surprising uses of space, light, and unexpected media and approaches to art-making empower the art. It makes us look at ourselves looking and invites interaction – and will bring a whole new level of drama and delight to experiencing the iconic architecture of The Church. As Chief Curator Sara Cochran explained: “Entering into our fourth year of operation, this exhibition has been a tremendous opportunity to rethink the relationship to the physical space of The Church and the presence of contemporary art. This historic building has proved itself to be an incredibly sympathetic place to show art and the works in this show are pushing that conversation even further. The installations and other pieces ask for the participation of the viewer as they see and think about what is in front of them. I am deeply grateful to the artists and estates who have worked with us on this interesting and compelling exhibition.” The exhibition began with an invitation to artist Christine Sciulli to create a site-specific work in the rafters of The Church. Inspired by water, her piece is both a sculpture and a 3-dimensional drawing in space. Different angles change the shape of the piece and the relationship between its elements, turning the vast ceiling of The Church into her canvas.  Artists will include Uta Barth, Walead Beshty, Mel Bochner, Tara Donovan, Sol LeWitt, Gordon Matta-Clark, Matthew Satz, Christine Sciulli, Keith Sonnier, and Steven J. Yazzie. The exhibition is curated by Sara Cochran. The Church acknowledges the generosity of Sherry and Douglas Oliver for their partial support of this exhibition.
