I want to announce this exhibition. A new outdoor Laser and Video installation to pay tribute to the Laser artist Rockne Krebs who was a vital part of the DC arts community from the 60’s until his death in 2011. Krebs was also a mentor to me artistically. The piece was commissioned for the Strathmore Mansion in Rockville, MD as a part of their New Technologies in Art exhibition. This is the first time the Strathmore has ever organized an outdoor sculptural installation that engages the building and the grounds with multiple sources of light, video, flags, and fog. It is a unique experience at this beautiful art's center. Please come see the show, and help me to get the word out about this tribute to one of Washington D.C.'s most prolific, pioneering, and community involved artists. Thank you, George Terry Closing Reception Sunday, March 2, 2014, 6-8pm. What's Up: New Technologies in Art curated by Harriet Lesser. Press Release (click) "Object… History...

What’s Up: New Technologies in Art January 11 through March 2, 2014 From the Darwinism of Electric Sheep to visual sound waves, lasers and the vectorization of a kiss The Mansion at Strathmore is located at 10701 Rockville Pike, North Bethesda, MD. This technology-focused exhibit includes the outdoor urban-scale laser and video installation "Object… History... Light… Passage… Fog… Green…Black… Void” created by George Terry honoring his mentor Rockne Krebs. Curated by Harriet Lesser of the Mansion at Strathmore in Bethesda, MD. The conceptual piece uses a green laser projected from the Mansion at Strathmore to the Gudelsky Concert Pavilion, visually connecting the two structures and symbolizing the pedagogical transfer of ideas. The Pavilion will house a functioning television atop a pedestal, playing a video that uses a “green screen” as a metaphor for the act of creation and the endeavor to be an artist. Two flags will be incorporated: one made of green screen fabric mounted to the Mansion and the other of black duvetyn fabric mounted to the Pavilion. The green screen flag is emblazoned with an eye, symbolic of “The Artist’s Eye,” a turn-of-phrase used frequently by Krebs. The black flag will feature an image of Marcel Duchamp’s “Étant donnés” as a symbol for “The Art Object.” The green screen is a common mechanism in video editing, a “stand-in” backdrop which is replaced with a different image in post production; the black is the void or hole that is left when the green screen is cut out. The color green and the color black, then, symbolize the act of creating, and the act of telling a story.
