Discover the intersection of art and science in our current exhibition at The Lapis Press. Presented in conjunction with Getty's PST ART: Art & Science Collide, this show features works by artists who utilize unconventional and inventive methods to realize their distinct visions. With The Lapis Press’s innovative printmaking techniques, these original pieces have been transformed and revitalized. The collaboration between The Lapis Press and these artists has given the artworks new dimensions, offering a fresh perspective on how creative experimentation and technical expertise can intersect.
Matthew Brandt
Boxes, a series of 12 compositions, each an edition of 5, is the result of Matthew Brandt exploring the underground vaults of The Carnegie Observatories Astronomical Plate archives in Pasadena. Erica Clark, Strategic Initiatives Coordinator at Carnegie extended an invitation to The Lapis Press to offer our artists the use of the archive as a resource for creative projects, merging the realms of art and science. The visits inspired a sense of wonder at the order of the universe and how beautiful images can emerge from scientific data
Helen Pashgian
Helen Pashgian is one of the leading figures in the Light and Space movement. She changed the course of art by arguing that a work is not defined merely by what is in the frame but is rather made in the perceptual system of the viewer. Untitled (the Orange Lens) recreates on paper the mystical effect that Pashgian’s lenses have in a controlled environment. Untitled (the Orange Lens) transforms the print into an environment and recreates on an intimate scale the ephemeral visual effects of Pashgian’s polished lenses.
Stephen Shore
In 1974, Stephen Shore purchased a Stereo Realist - a camera that created stereographic color transparencies - resulting in images that could be viewed in 3D. Similar to 19th century experimentation in stereo cards and the recently popularized View-Master toys, these images offer a simulacrum of three-dimensional space via the two-dimensional image. Now, almost 50 years later, The Lapis Press developed a digital technology that uses layers to accentuate spatial depth within the image. When coupled with a lenticular lens, the print produces a three-dimensional composition. New York, New York, 1974 is a series of 3D lenticular prints that aim to show the images the way they were meant to be seen, without the use of a stereoscope.
