Boston-based multimedia artist Liz Nofziger is currently developing Core, a new large-scale site-specific installation for Columbia College Chicago's Glass Curtain Gallery.
Working with the physical space of the gallery, its myriad past and present uses, and its architecturally significant beginnings, Nofziger's installation will present an abstracted "core sample" of architect William LeBaron Jenney's Ludington Building. Core will disrupt our expectations of architecture, creating a quiet spectacle in response to the structural columns punctuating the gallery.
Viewer exploration will lead to intimate discoveries within the space, revealing elements of the research Nofziger been compiling since her first site-visit in June 2006. Looking through the past of the Glass Curtain, Nofziger filters, reflects and juxtaposes the findings of her research from a contemporary perspective, from the vibration of printing presses to toothpaste and auto-parts. By reanimating forgotten stories, Nofziger will impact the relationship visitors have with the Ludington Building.
Sparked by religion, politics, pop culture and personal experience, Nofziger's "site manipulations" are comprised of familiar, benign elements that are re-configured with the result of blurring the lines between attraction and repulsion, high and low. Playing with perspective, voyeurism, scale and humor, Nofziger aims to challenge the viewers' perception and awareness of their surroundings within the exhibition and beyond.
"I am interested in broadened relationships to our environments, current events and history within the context of physical personal experience and possibilities for the impact each of us has on our surroundings," says Nofziger.
