Exhibition space generously provided by Stonehenge Partners, Inc. | www.stonehengeny.com details This window installation will mark the first time these artists have collaborated. "Archaic Cycles" is a design based on numerology making reference to humanity's drive toward foundationalism, and the suggestive nature of ritualistic behavior.
The installation features paths of wire paired against intersections of space. Lighted elements are combined to enhance the presence of the reflecting properties found within the material itself. Samson's sound collage, audible only to those spectators who stand close to the windows, is comprised of found sound that has been manipulated to numerically match the proportional features of the material piece. about Archaic Cycles Max Langhurst is a New York based artist who has exhibited extensively on the east coast. He studied at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design prior to attending the Art Institute of Boston.
