Dos artistas de la luz crean instalaciones cautivadoras en el Museo Bush House
El Bush House Museum recibe a las artistas Kathryn Cellerini Moore y Pamela Hadley para la exposición Past is Prologue. Cada artista ha creado un arte lumínico específico que interactúa con el entorno histórico de la Casa Bush. Este arte que altera el espacio separa las expectativas situándose en el pasado al tiempo que produce una experiencia formativa. La interacción de la tecnología contemporánea amplía la noción de lo que es un hogar en una casa histórica.
The exhibit will be available for viewing from November 19, 2022, through January 28, 2023. There will be a reception at Bush House Museum on Friday, December 9, 2022, from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are available at no charge at the Bush Barn Art Center and they are required to tour the Museum. For Questions contact Robin@SalemArt.org
Museum will be closed Christmas and New Years weekends, then reopen for tours on Friday, January 10, 2025.

Este trabajo no trata de venderte nada. Sólo te pide que mires y sientas y que seas activamente consciente de los procesos por los que miramos y sentimos. Y quizá podamos seguir intentándolo después de salir de la galería.
Kathryn Cellerini Moore tiene una pregunta: ¿Cómo puede el proceso de hacer y experimentar el arte revelar caminos hacia una administración positiva para nuestro planeta y más allá?
Cellerini Moore is a self-proclaimed nerd whose interdisciplinary work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. She reuses and recycles media to create immersive experiences for people to reflect on our collective, multifaceted potential as just one species among many. To do this, Cellerini Moore points to the invisible or unnoticed wonders that surround us every day, and offers viewers space to be curious and ask what is possible.
When asked to build work in response to the architecture at Bush House Museum, Cellerini Moore was immediately struck by the house’s elaborate interior design including dense and dark wallpapers, tiled floors, dark wooden furniture and floors, multi-layered molding at the base and top of the walls and ceiling, the gold gilded frames everywhere, and the numerous reflective glass surfaces in the house. Cellerini Moore also learned that when the house was built in the 1870’s, it was ahead of its time technologically speaking, incorporating electricity early on as well as flushing toilets. Cellerini Moore’s clear, minimalist glass and plexiglass structures are intended to heighten the viewer’s awareness of being surrounded by endless patterns and motifs. Cellerini Moore also lets the digital technology, including media players, projectors, tripods, and cords, be visible in the exhibition with the intent to draw parallels between the house’s historic technological advancements and contemporary tech.
The majority of the digital footage presented is microscope videography. Finding themselves pregnant at the beginning of the COVID pandemic meant spending a great deal of time at home. As a result, Cellerini Moore began to explore her domestic space through the lens of a microscope, viewing daily items using a tool to help us see beyond our innate human capabilities. Salt, water, ice, fermented food, feathers, moss and tree roots are just some of the items filmed and incorporated into the videos. Gold v.2, for example, which eclipses a disk on the hallway wall, was created in direct response to the opulent gold frames found everywhere in Bush House Museum. Cellerini Moore diluted and filmed gold paint under the microscope in an effort to offer the viewer a
