Familiar Becomes Unfamiliar

Jesse Kaminsky - Air

July 8 - Sept 9, 2008 - Berwick Research Institute

The Weekly Dig profiled Jesse Kaminsky, a day later I found him while roaming the web on accident, so it was a must to write about his show Air starting on the 8th of July, plus his work is not half bad. I know its early as well, but this local artist is The Struggling Blogger Artist of the Month for July 2008. The explanation on the Berwick Research Institute tells it best, a way that everyone can understand.

Jesse Kaminsky is a Boston-based artist who makes process-oriented sculpture and sculptural installations that create complex systems from simple materials. He plans to explore the way we understand and construct place using perception, memory and desire. With simple materials he will create environments that will alter your sense of space and time. Kaminsky seeks the threshold of perception where the familiar becomes unfamiliar, and the mind explores a variety of new, sometimes implausible, theories in order to make sense of the world again. - Berwick Research Institute

Kaminsky will talk about his show at the BRI at 7:30 of the opening. If you need help finding the place, like myself checkout their directions, no matter what direction your coming from. Also be sure to check out his portfolio website which has other great works from past shows.
