For her second solo exhibition at Thomas Dane Gallery – Present Continuous – Barbara Kasten (b. 1936, Chicago) presents works from four distinct recent series, each exploring the language of geometry and grids.

About

Dominating the centre of the main gallery is the floor based sculptural work, PARALLELS I - a stack of coloured, rectangular, perspex beams lying on their sides. Architectural in form and scale and resonant of a classical ruin the object creates a pool of coloured light around it cast by the surface of the different coloured columns. The work is largely immaterial: the illuminated edges of the perspex delineating the hollow shape of the columns, filled only with light. 

Indeed by colouring light Kasten makes it visible. In her PROGRESSION series shards of coloured perspex emerge from the surface of a photographic image. Light, both recorded in the photograph and filtered through the sculptural surface, intersects in real time in an unpredictable kaleidoscope.
