James Welling shows new photographs from the "Glass House" series and a video installation "Sun Pavilion."
The "Glass House" photographs were taken over the course of three years (October 2006 to October 2009) at the iconic Philip Johnson Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut.
The photographs of the House (1949), the Lake Pavilion (1962), the Lincoln Kirstein sculpture (1985), and the Brick Guest House (1949) were made with an array of color filters positioned in front of the lens of a digital camera.
Appearance and illusion, the reality of the camera and the photographic print, what we see or think we see, perception and how things are revealed photographically have always been in dialogue in his work.
"Glass House" epitomizes Welling's investigation into photographic representation and abstracted visual experience, and seamlessly combines these two disparate elements in one body of work.
