Light and Illusion, the second annual Art and Structure exhibit to benefit The Family Center, hosted by Joan and Marc Sherman
David Ling, Lana Lenar, and Joel Roodman
Amity Possick and Douglas Diamond
The annual Art and Structure Exhibits, founded by artist Joan Sherman, involve collaboration between esteemed artists, architects and designers. These exhibits explore the boundaries that define their fields of expression, challenging the artificial separation of artistic pursuits. Each installation relates conceptually to the experience of people involved with The Family Center. Established in 1994, The Family Center is a non-profit organization providing legal and social services to parents who are seriously ill.
David Ling and Norman Mooney's Labyrinth
The theme of this year’s exhibit was “Light and Illusion.” The architects and designers participating in “Light and Illusion” created installations that investigate the ability of art to reveal truth or create illusion. Architect David Ling and sculptor Norman Mooney designed a luminous labyrinth of cast glass and rough-hewn stones representing the various paths families take in life. Fred Schwartz collaborated with Domingo Gonzalez to construct a canopy of cascading lights recalling tiny spring blossoms, symbolizing hope and renewal. Juergen Riehm and Bill Schwinghammer installed a massive, glowing box that appeared to defy gravity, connecting viewers with the tenuous nature of life. And Samuel Botero and Pablo Molgora included mothers and children of The Family Center in the creation of their piece. To learn more about The Family Center, please visit thefamilycenter.org
