CARBON
a site specific installation by Charles Lindsay (Rensselaerville, NY/NYC)
The Center for Photography at Woodstock (CPW) is very excited to announce its upcoming exhibition, CARBON, featuring the multimedia work of Charles Lindsay. Encompassing both CPW’s first floor galleries and the exterior porch, CARBON is an immersive installation which encourages the viewer to ponder fundamental questions about our place in the universe.
At the heart of CARBON lies a camera-less photographic process that Lindsay has invented. His imaging technique fuses together mark-making with science, beginning with a unique carbon based emulsion applied to a transparent base that is electrified, frozen, and manipulated in various ways. Beginning in the analog realm, the negatives which exhibit highly dimensional forms in extreme resolution are then scanned, digitally layered, and printed up to 60 feet long or animated for video applications. Numerous generations in the fluid’s history create minute evaporation trails, rendering an archeology of time.
As envisioned by Lindsay in collaboration with CPW, the exhibition will feature large still images and projected video alongside focused sound works created from a layering of original NASA recordings with Lindsay’s own electronic music, and interactive kinetic sculpture built with re-purposed scientific devices and equipment from space exploration programs.
