This intimate exhibition of glass and light is a visual feast of color, form, and altering perceptions. Reality transforms into illusion with the changing definitions of surfaces and reflections, defined and created through the play between light and shadow. Forming the structures for many of the pieces represented in this exhibition are articulated panes of glass typically found in jalousie, or louvre, windows. These mechanical devices become interactive sculptural canvases. Museum visitors are encouraged to manipulate the glass panes of the louvers so that light is reflected and re-directed, creating a unique experience of the artwork with every interaction.

Inspired by the relationship between art and activism expressed in graffiti on the streets of Buenos Aires, Argentina, photographer Bill Rastetter sought to create a broader spectrum of experience for the viewer by “mashing up” two separate images to create each of his final pieces. Each is the result of overlaying two full-frame 60-megapixel photographs allowing the viewer to see the bottom image “through” the top image. Also included in the mash-ups are overlaid images from works by well known artists such as Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, and Federico Botero, among others, all displayed at the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires.
