The work of MFA Studio Art alumna Gianluca Bianchino ’11 is featured in the show Through the Lens,<\/em> at the Hunterdon Art Museum, featuring site-specific installations inspired by technology while being rooted in nature and scientific discovery.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bianchino\u2019s work investigates physics, particularly as it applies to astronomy, exploring the power of the lens as a microscope or telescope investigating the natural world in ways that aren\u2019t visible to the naked eye.  The show is comprised primarily of two large installations that allow a fair amount of interplay between the artists, the artwork, and the gallery space. \u201cThere\u2019s this pervading idea of movement and exploration weaving in and out of this exhibition, both physically as well as metaphorically,\u201d said Jeanne Brasile, curator of the show, and the director of the Walsh Gallery at Seton Hall University. <\/p>\n

\u201cGianluca has made 10 new \u2018portals\u2019 that contain viewing lenses through which visitors are transported to another layer of regressive space,\u201d Brasile said. Bianchino’s site specific installations can be seen as representations of an expansive cosmos minimized to an accessible scale for viewers, offering an alternative view on the themes of space and perspective. <\/p>\n

Through the Lens<\/em> runs through January 3rd, 2016.  For more information about the exhibition read an announcement covering the show at NJ.com<\/a>, and a review on A Greater Town<\/a> blog.<\/p>\n

The Hunterdon Art Museum<\/a> is a landmark regional center for contemporary arts, craft, and design offering a wide range of art classes and workshops for children and adults, located in Clinton, New Jersey.<\/p>\n
