SUMMARY:นิทรรศการ \"Illusion and the Science of Real
 ity\"
DESCRIPTION:Gundersen Exhibit Explores Interplay Between Supernatural 
 and Corporeal Worlds\nBruce Gundersen, a New York artist, exhibits May
 a Tattva-Vaisradi, Illusion and the Science of Reality a collection of
  digital photomontages inspired by the flora and fauna of Southeast As
 ia.\n“ I am fascinated with the interplay between the supernatural a
 nd corporeal worlds,\" says Gundersen \" filled with characters that a
 re vividly depicted through the arts. \" My work reflects a contempora
 ry approach to an ancient codified language of gesture and storytellin
 g.\"\nThe title Illusion and the Science of Reality was inspired by th
 e ancient Indian text Tattva-Vaisradi, which explained the natural wor
 ld. This series explores a natural world set in a landscape animated b
 y forces not seen by the sensory eye.It represents a layering of the s
 een world, with glimpses of metaphysical energies and actions which fl
 ow thinly veiled behind a sensory landscape, where realities are plura
 l and relative.\nBruce Gundersen's work presents complex visual ambigu
 ities, perceptually bridging painting and photography. For the past 10
  years, his artistic endeavors have involved photographing and digital
 ly narrating Southeast Asian folklore.\nAfter in-depth research, Gunde
 rsen travels to Asia with storyboards of scenes to be depicted. After 
 photographing local actors, dancers and lay people along with architec
 ture, landscapes and textual surfaces, Gundersen starts to assemble hi
 s images. These visual elements become digital building blocks, which 
 will be layered into photomontages.\nBack in New York, Gundersen layer
 s these photographic and sampled images, meticulously erasing and soft
 ening these bits of information to evoke a sense of impermanence and t
 he passing of time. The overall effect is somewhere between photograph
 y and painting, paying homage to the indigenous visual folk vernacular
  with a feeling of antiquity. However, the techniques-digital capturin
 g, the application of sampling, and printing-are all contemporary.\nAb
 out the Artist\nGundersen is an interdisciplinary artist exhibiting in
  a variety of established venues. Gundersen's interest in universal cu
 ltural legends and myths has been the basis for most of his artistic e
 xpression.\nAfter receiving his MFA from The School of the Art Institu
 te of Chicago, he has successfully worked in many mediums. Whether it 
 is performance art (GUNDERSEN/CLARK from 1970-1980) or diorama sculptu
 res (HURRICANE MOUNTAIN INDUSTRIES 1985-2001) or filmmaking (FISH-GUN 
 FILMS 2000 -present), they all share the fascination with interpreting
  universal stories.\nGundersen has exhibited in Bangkok at The Art Cen
 ter at Chulalongkorn University, The Art Center at The Jim Thompson Ho
 use, Kathmandu Photo Gallery, The Playground and the Patravadi Theater
  Gallery. The Asian Cultural Council funded the research and work crea
 ted in Laos.\nGundersen says \"Finding my inspiration in the belief sy
 stems and vernacular art from the ancient/modern cultures of Southeast
  Asia, \" Gundersen says, \" I hope to regenerate them through the mod
 ernity of digital arts.\"\n\nFor more information visit http://www.por
