Manifest is pleased to present a gallery full of David Dotson’s nearly microscopic cyborg-like sculptural creations. Two of these bio-mechanical ‘creatures’ were recently included in Magnitude Seven (2008). For his solo show Dotson will present several works, all individually displayed in the laboratory-like lighted tubular cases seen previously. Although beautiful and compelling in their intricacy and appearance of potential animation, these works also function for Dotson as a subtle jab at corporate manipulation of natural social and genetic order.

Tama Hochbaum LOOKING THROUGH THE GLASS
(Drawing Room)
Manifest Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibit of the photography of Tama Hochbaum. An intimate drawing room experience, this exhibit titled “Looking Through the Glass,” will present a series of composite digital prints similar to those first seen in Manifest’s recent exhibit Trick of the Light curated by Dennis Kiel. Works will include moody fragmented views of architecture and landscape often as seen through a window (including the window itself). Similar to Kathy Moore’s drawings (season opener) Hochbaum’s works provide the viewer an opportunity to experience the point of view of the artist in tangible, visible, and formally beautiful ways.
