NYCAMS present recent work by the three Studio Faculty working in painting, photography and sculpture.

Opening reception Friday, April 28th 6-8 p.m.

This exhibition highlights the work of nine artists who, in varying distinctive ways, create imaginary landscape worlds through the interplay of memory, fantasy and recent scientific trends. The title of the exhibition, Paramnesiac Landscape arises in response to the way these artists merge macro with micro, past with future and fantastic biological and technological discoveries as a means to evoke alternative, often hallucinatory, highly personal cosmologies. The media here ranges from painting, works on paper, sound video to installation. Each references filmic, computer/electronic/digital, or manufactured surfaces that recreates an overall effect of blurring virtual with physical space.
