Specular highlights are the bright spots caused by the reflection oflight bouncing off a shiny surface. Specular Highlights is my homegallery, that quite literally is full of bright spots! The gallery consists of two40"x30" light boxes and five video monitors. I host fourexhibitions a year, with receptions on the equinoxes and solstices. For the nextthree months, the light boxes are illuminated from noon to 9PM daily and thevideo monitors move to the Ryniker-Morrison Gallery at Rocky Mountain College,where I teach and serve as the gallery director.
I was inspired to start up the gallery by several artists andcontexts I admire… For example, Carlo Pittore (whom I modeled for from2002-2004) ran the Galleria dell' Occhio in the East Village, which was bestknown for its street level display window that exhibited Mail Art from aroundthe world throughout the 1980’s. Whilestudying in in the Czech Republic, the photographer Pavel Baňka (who was my MFAadvisor) and the ceramicist Jindra Viková would regale me with stories ofapartment galleries that showed avant-garde artwork that was not welcome inofficial contexts during the Communist era.
The gallery features both thematic group exhibitions as wellas solo shows.
