Artist Talk at 5:30pm
Opening Reception from 6:00-9:00pm
ImageOut is collaborating with Visual Studies Workshop again this year with an exhibition called UNITS featuring Greg Climer. UNITS is an exhibition of artists’ works that use an image’s syntax (pixels, frames, bits, dots, grain) to explore the relationship between form and meaning. Included are works in photography, fibers, film, digital media, and book artworks by historical and contemporary artists.

ImageOut is collaborating with Visual Studies Workshop again this year with an exhibition called UNITS featuring Greg Climer. UNITS is an exhibition of artists’ works that use an image’s syntax (pixels, frames, bits, dots, grain) to explore the relationship between form and meaning. Included are works in photography, fibers, film, digital media, and book artworks by historical and contemporary artists.
Greg Climer lives in New York City. He is an artist, fashion designer, and faculty member at Parsons School of Design. His series of single quilts inverts the traditional methodology for quilt construction. Instead of finding pieces of fabric, working with remnants and scraps and combining them to create larger compositions, He has been working with digital imaging software to engineer the final image and then design and manufacture the individual fabrics required to piece the larger composition together. Greg is also working on several long-term projects, which translate his knitted pieces into films, demonstrating an animated knit technique. His interest stems from the fact that digital technology sometimes replaces celluloid as our primary medium for storing cinematic images. The exhibition will showcase both his one of a kind quilts as well as his animated
knit videos.
In addition to Gregory Climer, UNITS features works by contemporary artists Jessica Fenlon, Eric Fleischauer and Jason Lazarus, Dan Larkin, Patti Ambrogi, Nicky Tavares, as well as works from VSW’s collection by Robert Heinecken, Barbara Blondeau, Bonnie Gordon, Edweard Muybridge, and others.
The exhibition continues through October 22, 2016.
