Christopher Meerdo's Sine Qua Non

Our third installation is currently up/in/at window.  Meerdo’s contribution consists of his 2012 work, sine qua non, a digital inkjet print comprised of numerous iterations of a single subject.  In this work, the artist purposefully photographed the sun “thousands of times using an early 1990's digital camera. This resulted in the degradation of the image sensor which obfuscated its recording capabilities” (Meerdo).  

In an effort to involve the public more fully, we're going to try something new.  Each month, we'll place small pads of handouts around town encouraging people to comment on the works on view and (hopefully) turn up to the opening for discussion.  We weren't able to get the pads out in advance of this month's opening, but they will be placed around town this week.  The public is encouraged to drop off their comments at Henco where they will be collected, scanned and published here.  Those who are not local can always send their comments directly to me at dawnroe@gmail.com.

Below is a JPEG image of the handout that you can download at will.

We welcome your contributions, in any form.
