Part 1 – features the artwork of Jeremy Blake and Jenny Marketou which is juxtaposed as a dialog that brings to view beautiful images that are concealing inherent danger.  Blake’s Chemical Sundownaims at LA’s fantasy of exceptionally colorful sunsets that are in reality ominously artificial and caused by pollution. In Marketou’s Levels of Disturbance, a revolving sphere intrudes over video footage of the natural landscape of Los Alamos filmed from an airplane, mesmerizes and subverts attention from the reality of its radioactive history.

Part 2 - Jeremy Blake’s Winchester Redux is part of his Winchester series that distills and abstracts American myths of violence and spiritual reconciliation. The dreamlike flow of images gives an abstract emotional tour of the fearful chambers of his subject’s mind.  Marty St. James’ Oneiric enters inner dimensions and confines of the individual, and reconstructed reality is explored in The Invisible Man. Yorgo Alexopolous’ No Feeling is Final is an abstract narrative symbolizing the interconnection between mathematics, humans, nature and universe, the real and virtual. Blake’s “Station to Station: Indiglo Heights is the fifth in a series of five individual time-based paintings,representing an imaginary urban transportation system.  ”Contemporary anxieties concerning chemical weaponry, global warming gasses and mysterious technologies were also kept well in mind while making this work,” Blake wrote, “as was the sensory excitement of travel and the hypnotic allure of bright, pulsating city lights.”
