Upcoming Exhibition:

Short Long Time
May 23 - June 30
 

Heidi Zito's recent paintings, drawings, and videos are a meditation on time. Influenced by the way a video camera sees and records images, she depicts time passing through the use of superimposition and repetition of forms. Zito transforms an initial image, altering and bringing to it new geometries with linear forms and altered, sometimes contradictory, depth perspectives. The superimposition of depicted moments in Zito's pieces allow her to see the relationship among things and with the same set of gestures to create new relationships. What isn’t visible to our naked eyes can be made visible in the processing of film or in a digital editing system: one moment coexisting with another, a multiplicity of things happening on the same frame, at the same time. In this sense, all temporal experiences are in the present, at every moment.           

About HEREart:

HEREart provides emerging and early career visual artists and curators access to space at an active, well-located multi-arts center. We feature 5-6 exhibitions each year that creatively work with our unique spaces and engage audiences with artwork specially curated to function within a busy environment. This focus on interactive space naturally leads HEREart to function as the center of our community of artists.

HEREart’s location as an entryway to our theatres ensures a diverse and eclectic audience will experience the art. HEREart embraces its alter ego as a lobby for HERE’s performance spaces and encourages our artists to react and respond to this with their exhibits. HERE is a very appropriate place for today’s active and interactive visual art: art
that often moves, makes noise, and physically engages the viewer. HEREart seeks to snag
these passers-by and engage them in a dialogue with the space in which we move. HEREart is invested in supporting artworks of all media and various content (painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, collage, media), but we concentrate on new work that in some way addresses the special conditions of our space.

Every exhibit at HERE is a site-specific installation that stretches our understanding of the words “art” and “performance,” creating a multi-layered experience for our patrons that sticks with them as they move from one space to the next.
