Ballwall
Wiedeman films a person tossing a ball against a wall. Filmed from two angles, the viewer sees the person from front and back as he bounces to catch each toss. The videos are projected onto opposing walls, mirroring the split perspective.

Network
Yanessa maps interior spaces, in this case a cube, with mono-filament. The string is lit from inside, highlighting its sense of architecture and depth. [amie - we're trying to find an alternative space so that Yanessa can install his work in a site-specific manner rather than inserting the built cube as you see here.)

Spartanburg, SC
Marquee Paintings
Angel paints marquee signs - neon signs that display messages like "No Vacancy". Angel adds her on spin to these messages in light. At first, her paintings appear to be photographs but on closer inspection, one sees her brushwork. These would be installed in one of the storefront windows, like Richmond Radio.

Mickey D's
McGlamory's photographic screenprints reference iconic signs of popular culture. Backlit and modular, they can be arranged in any manner of configurations and achieve a kaleidoscopic affect. Pending approval, these works will be installed in the windows above 1708.Scott Kyle, AIA Leed
InLightWalk
Kyle will embed squares into the sidewalk, which, powered by solar panels, will be lit and provide ambient light for the sidewalk. This is pending funding, the amount of which will determine how many squares are placed. this is being considered a long-term installation - a legacy piece.

Amy Glengary Yang
Washington, DC
Phosphorflock
Yang’s multi-part light installation features cyanotype drawings mounted in lightboxes. Yang’s work is light-inspired on two levels. The “Phosphor” series combines the cyanotype photographic process with photo-emulsion and vellum stencil silkscreen printing techniques. Yang uses cyanotyping to color and reproduce figurative contour drawings. Instead of negatives, she uses ink drawings on duralar and the solarization process uses the sun’s effect on UV-sensitive paper as proxy for printmaking inks. The sun makes the image. These are then installed in light boxes, which magnifies the role of light.

Brilliant Beacons
Members of this collective group, organized by VMFA Fellowship winner Diane Cavanaugh, are roving galleries of sorts. Each member wears, on some part of the body like on the shoulder-as seen here, a miniature installation, complete with lights. This performance / installation will be roving as members will wander throughout the evening from one site to the next. Tatjana Ginsburg

Glimmer
Glimmer is a store front installation and will remain on view for 3-4 weeks. The dark outlined plant forms that you notice in the foreground are vinyl forms applied directly to the window (they are not permanent). A large sheet of handmade paper embedded with this same form hangs form the ceiling and is backlit with floodlights. A series of smaller sheets hangs behind the larger one. Each also contains abstracted elements of the main form – the vinyl form on the window. Spider webs are projected onto these sheets. These projections spill off the sides of the sheets onto the walls themselves.
