I’m excited to have a new commissioned installation open now at The Blackwood Gallery as part of the exhibition The Art Gallery Problem. From the curator:
Imaginary Volumes is a newly commissioned work for The Art Gallery Problem exhibition. It uses artist-written software and consumer tech to simulate the "art gallery problem," a well-known math problem that asks: what is the minimum number of guards or surveillance cameras necessary to observe an entire gallery?
A series of human-scale sculptures serve as proxies for museum guards, outfitted with screens that mimic a surveillant gaze and depict renderings of the gallery.
Rather than replicating surveillance technologies, however, Nish-Lapidus inflects his work with flaws and hubris, informed by histories and limitations of computer-aided design.
Imaginary Volumes is on view now until March 5, 2025 as part of The Art Gallery Problem, curated by Fraser McCallum.
The exhibition runs until March 5. If you’re in the Toronto area check it out!
