529 W 20th St Lisa Hoke The Rhapsody of Chaos (2007) |
The Rhapsody of Chaos , a “snapshot” of the merging of light with a spectrum of colored filter gel boxes, results in unexpected three dimensional reflections. This installation evokes the late December light in the artists studio from 3:15 to 3:30 pm. Hoke says, “as the sunlight rakes across the gels, it was like watching a pile of sticks ignite.” As in Hoke's most recent installations, there is conditional interplay of ephemeral materials that coexist in a finite space and time.
The Houston Press writes of Hoke's recent installation, Light My Fire, at Rice University Gallery “Hoke turned the gallery's 16 x 44 foot window wall into a color-soaked, stained glass panel using colored paper and glue. It fills the viewer's field of vision, turning into a trippy wall of light, evoking cinema.” For Hoke, the pooled reflection of color on the highly polished marble floor created an aurora borealis-like phenomenon, inspiring The Rhapsody of Chaos .
In a concurrent installation at the Montclair Museum of Art, “Moody Blues, Reds and Yellows”, February 10-August 5, 2007 . Hoke uses a filter gel construction in a windowed stairwell. Gail Stavitsky, the curator, describes Lisa Hoke's piece as “ reflecting both seasonal and daily changes in light, which alludes to Hoke's preocupation with “ the mortality of time”.
