Nathaniel Robinson: Civil Twilight2 September - 2 October 2010


Civil Twilight is the time of day before sunrise or after sunset when the sun is between the horizon and six degrees below. It is a time when light is increasing or fading and images and objects are not completely discernible. Once can think of this transitional time as a move into or out of the private and into or out of the social.

This is quiet work that has a sense of humor. There are a number of castings so while the objects are knowable, they are at least once removed. Color is subdued. Most things have multiple readings. While these things or this world seems old and used, it also offers possibilities. Orientation and reorientation rule.

Nathaniel Robinson is having his first one person exhibition with Feature Inc.  He hails from Rhode Island, attended the School of The Art Institute of Chicago and will have a concurrent one person exhibition with the same title at TWIG Gallery
Brussels.
