ERIC LEISER Aleph-Null April 19 - May 17, 2008
For his first solo show Aleph-Null, ERIC LEISER presents holograms of
sculpted objects optically captured by laser light onto sheets of glass
based on set theory. His new work is a result of intense efforts to
produce bas-relief sculptures, combined in some cases with other
objects, as the subjects of his images. The results are through-the-
window visual spaces saturated with forms, incidents and patterns, in
blazing shards of color. They reward viewing from various angles, and
their phantom forward projections layer on top of things hiding in the
depths behind the window. Irrational Numbersthe artist's newest
animation will also be on view as the featured media project.
Eric Leiser is a filmmaker, animator, holographer, painter, puppeteer, illustrator, writer, teacher, sculptor, and former funeral director. His body of work includes several short subject and feature films. Featured in the May 2008 issue of Animation Magazine, his latest film "Imagination" has been critically acclaimed by over 60 international critics and is playing in festivals and theatres worldwide. His holograms have been shown in museums in the U.S., including the Holodome in Los Angeles, and the Ruben H. Fleet Science Center in San Diego. Special thanks to William R.
