Come see Let’s Meet in Our Dreams by Thomas Moberg & Jamie Weinfurter through August 23 at Artlink!
As twilight sets in, we lose our ability to see color, and the world that we once knew becomes shrouded in wonder and otherworldly mystery. Let’s Meet in Our Dreams, the two-person exhibition featuring work by Thomas Moberg and Jamie Weinfurter combines nocturne oil paintings and Scollages (Sculpture + Collage) in a dimly lit space to evoke a sense of mystery and the desire to feel at home. The tension between interior and exterior spaces is shown through painted nocturnes that look in on illuminated homes from the outside with a sense of longing, and illuminated sculptures that evoke an uncanny and surreal sense of liminal space from within the home.
Our nocturnal habits have changed dramatically over the last two centuries due to the advent of artificial light. Where we once used to sleep and rise with the rhythm of the sun, we are now untethered from that natural pattern; the feeling of wonder and mystery that we experience after dark is one of being out of place and time. This exhibition highlights our natural human desire for light, which has connotations as security, comfort, and warmth. These feelings are contrasted with the night, which we associate with anxiety, discomfort, and exposure to the cold. The voyeurism of looking in on private spaces is culturally taboo, which creates an emotional dissonance as we catch glimpses of well-lit interior spaces in the dark of the night.
The otherworldly feeling of entering this exhibition will prompt viewers to question everyday objects and spaces and to celebrate the seemingly mundane. The nocturnes and Scollages within the light-controlled exhibition space will draw in viewers as “moths to the flame,” highlighting our shared desire to feel at home.
