Phillip Stearns – Evident Material at Transfer

Transfer Gallery in Brooklyn, NY is pleased to present Evident Material. This new series of work from Phillip David Stearns will be on view from November 15 through December 13, 2014.

For this exhibition, Stearns produced film-based images without a camera by applying various household chemicals and 15,000 volts of alternating current directly to the film. In a flash, arcs spread out across the surface, burning holes and igniting the film. As in our eyes, images are conveyed in a stream of such electric impulses. Here such impulses are amplified some 300,000 times.
