Language: Collection material is in English Biographical / Historical Eric Orr was a key figure in the Light and Space movement in Southern California. Born in 1939 in Covington, Kentucky, Orr graduated from the Kentucky Military Institute in 1958 and spent his early years traveling across the United States and Cuba. He briefly attended the University of Cincinnati in the early 1960s, where he produced his first sculpture, Colt .45, a work later known as Saturday Night Special. The work featured a mounted pistol facing a chair; viewers could sit and control the pistol via a foot pedal. Orr participated in civil rights protests in Mississippi in 1964 before relocating to Los Angeles in 1965, where he began to produce performances, sound art, and perceptual installations, using the elemental qualities of silence, sound, darkness, and light as material. Among these works was Zero Mass (1972-1973), an immersive 38-foot-long installation made of paper, where up to five people could enter a dark oval chamber and, after 10 to 12 minutes, experience altered vision from the lack of spatial perception. Developing alongside both Southern California conceptual art and the perceptual-based installations commonly associated with Light and Space art, Orr's work spanned a variety of artistic practices that challenged the definition of artmaking while also incorporating a broad range of cultural references, including space icons found in ancient religions and cultures, Egyptian symbolism, and Buddhist spiritualism. From the 1970s onward, Orr created a diverse body of atmospheric monochrome paintings using airbrushing and oil paint, wall-mounted sculptures, and public artworks which incorporated a variety of elements including fire, water, gold, volcanic ash, meteorite dust, and his own blood. Orr participated in a number of international exhibitions during his life, including documenta VII (1982), the Sydney Biennale (1986), and the Venice Biennale (1986). His work can be found in many public and private collections, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and the Centre Pompidou, Paris; Orr died in Venice, California, in 1998.

    FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE QUINT CONTEMPORARY ART 7547 GIRARD AVENUE, LA JOLLA, CA 92037 www.quintgallery.com T. 858.454.3409 [email protected] F. 858.454.3421 GALLERY HOURS: Tue - Sat 10AM – 5:30PM and by appointment GISELA COLÓN GLO-PODS NOVEMBER 2, 2013 – JANUARY 4, 2014 ARTIST WALK-THROUGH AND DIALOGUE: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, FROM 5:30 TO 6PM OPENING RECEPTION: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, FROM 6 TO 8PM “Colon’s rapid evolution in the context of Perceptualismi, however, has been a process not of mere emulation, but of considered exploration. And it has yielded artworks that, no matter how rigorously they illumine Perceptualist principles, do not look as if any other Perceptualist made them.” – Peter Frank, June 2013 Quint Contemporary Art (QCA) is pleased to present GISELA COLÓN: GLO-PODS, a solo exhibition of sculptural wall-mounted work by Gisela Colón. This is the first solo exhibition at QCA for the artist. The exhibition opens on Saturday, November 2nd with an artist led walk- through and dialogue from 5:30 to 6PM, followed by a public reception from 6 to 8PM. Colón’s sculptures investigate the properties of light in solid form and luminescent color through the use of industrial plastic materials. The Glo-Pods body of work, meticulously created through a proprietary fabrication process of blow-molding and layering acrylic, mark Colón as part of the next generation of Southern Californian artists using light as an exploratory medium. The light appearing to emanate from the objects is only an illusion based on color and form. Colón's use of amorphous and organic shapes, along with asymmetrical lines, and light-reflecting/radiating media make her objects appear to pulsate with energy.

He has performed with such notable jazz artists as Arturo O’ Farrill, Adonis Rose, Ralph Bowen, Matt Wilson, Dan Nimmer, Joe Sanders, Matt Ulery, Francios Moutin, Pete Zimmer, Adam Larson, Rick Germanson, David Hazeltine, and David Bixler. Jamie has performed with Grammy nominated R & B artist Eric Benet, and was featured live in his recent music videos, “The Hunger” & “You’re the Only One”.

Jamie’s current projects include Dreamland (The Music of Thelonious Monk), and the Lesser Lakes Trio (with John Christensen and Devin Drobka). In 2003, Jamie recorded his first album as a leader “Song to a Rose”, featuring then 19-year-old bass phenom Joe Sanders. The recording featured several original compositions, as well as Freddie Hubbard’s classic “Gittin’ Down”, Sam Rivers’ “Beatrice, and the beautiful Jule Styne ballad, “I Fall in Love Too Easily”. Finally released in 2006, the recording was chosen by jazzreview.com’s Paul J. Youngman as a top-ten release of 2007. In late 2011, Jamie recorded and released his second studio recording, “Serenity”, a duo with the Boston-based pianist Barry Velleman. The 13-track “standards” release was recorded in one three-hour session.

The exhibition, which opens at the Addison Gallery of American Art on November 23, 2021, is one of the most comprehensive ever assembled of these artists and highlights works that explore perceptual phenomena via interactions with light and space. Drawn from the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Light, Space, Surface features a wide range of media, from painting and sculpture to immersive environments. “It’s a privilege to be able to present this important period of American artistic innovation—often thought of as Minimalism with a uniquely Californian twist—here on the East Coast,” said Allison Kemmerer, the interim director of the Addison Gallery of American Art, Mead Curator of Photography, and senior curator of contemporary art. “Transforming the viewer from passive observer to active participant, the reflective surfaces, glossy finishes, and shimmering colors of these works demand
