PRISON
A NEW INSTALLATION by PETER HALLEY
Exhibit Runs Jan 22 - Feb 25, 2012
Gallery Hours: Fri - Sun 12 - 5 p.m or by appointment
Disjecta Interdisciplinary Art Center is pleased to present Peter Halley as the final exhibiting artist in Jenene Nagy's 2011-2012 Curator-in-Residence season. Halley will create a site-specific installation at Disjecta entitled Prison. The show represents Halley's first solo exhibition in the Pacific Northwest and continues his decades-long interest in architecture by creating a seductive, continuous image that wraps around the perimeter of the gallery space. Halley unites visual and architectural systems to create an immersive experience that weds the "geometry of the social" with the mall-level transcendence of saturated fluorescent color. The result is an exhibition that creates tension between silence and noise that resonates long past our presence in the physical space.

"This is a big deal-maybe the biggest deal to hit the Portland art scene in a decade."
"... the new work attempts to create an immersive experience that weds the 'geometry of the social with the mall-level spectacle of saturated fluorescent color.'"
"After spending some time in the space, however, viewers may find their initial experience of confinement and dread yielding to feelings of expansion and amphetamenic rush, induced by the frenetic moiré effects of myriad repeated vertical and horizontal lines."
