"There is a concept which corrupts and upsets all others.  I refer not to
evil, whose limited realm is that of ethics, I refer to the infinite." -
Jorge Luis Borges

Zeno's famous paradoxes of motion and multiplicity  serve as the starting
point for this exhibition exploring concepts of infinity, emptiness, and
the Void.  In these koans we find challenges that express the tension
between permanence and impermanence, the many and the one, the human
relationship to the infinite, and the relativity of change.

In this exhibition, Vincent Avalos presents a mixed media installation
involving gears & cables constructed into a revolving metaphor of the
relationship of existence to time, Meilin Chinn carves images of
existential geometry into zinc plates, Adam Buck photographs Nothing, and
Timothy Crowe creates original sounds of the infinite. Time is understood
as the sea of awareness and as the point where we handle perception.  This
is the unique place between future and past, where the paradox of the
singular Now amidst the wave of all change rests.

Waiting for 8.5 on the Richter,
