8th January - 20th February
Private View on Thursday January 8th 6.30 – 8.30pm
The collaboration is an on-going work-in-progress, and Jonathan Ross is thrilled to be presenting some holograms from their very first series in this exhibition at Gallery 286.
As August Muth says: "When observing a hologram the viewer encounters a perceptual doorway. Stepping through that doorway into a tactile three-dimensional experience comprised of no material substance, an opportunity emerges. This opportunity is a choice to transform obsolete ideas and perceptions of reality".

For more than thirty years, August Muth has been an internationally exhibiting artist and pioneer in the exploration of light. He began his studies of art and physics at the University of New Mexico in 1974. From 1975 to 1978, he attended the University of Houston and the University of Texas at Austin to continue his studies. After an inspiring visit to New York City in 1978, he left Texas and moved to New York. In 1980, Muth began working with holographic processes at New York’s Museum Of Holography. After seven years in Colorado, Muth’s studio was moved to Santa Fe and expanded to accommodate more ambitious projects.
