The Hallway Gallery is excited to announce its first solo exhibition of 2014, featuring new work from Boston-based artist Clint Baclawski. Chromogenic, a site-specific installation, features a 30-foot wall photographic light mural stretching the length of the entire gallery. The exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on January 11 and runs through February 22.
This exhibition marks Baclawski’s inaugural installation with his latest body of work, wherein he deconstructs his previous sculptural light box series. Over forty 4-foot fluorescent lights will be installed vertically on a wall of black plexiglass. Each of the cylindrical bulbs is wrapped in a photographic archival inkjet backlight film. When turned on a sliver of the overall image will appear on each of the lights, creating a photographic light mural spanning the length of the gallery.
Clint Baclawski (b. 1981) grew up in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and lives and works in Malden, MA. His work combines a technical photographic practice and the playful relationship one can have with the work as an object, the space, and the viewer. His work has been exhibited locally at the Photographic Resource Center, Boston Center for the Arts, Axiom Gallery, and the Alpha Gallery, as well as nationally at the Chelsea Art Museum, New York NY, Snowflake Gallery, St. Louis, MO, San Diego Art Institute, and the Center for Photography at Woodstock. He was most notably published in The Collector’s Guide to New Art Photography Vol.2 by the Humble Arts Foundation. He received his MFA from MassArt in 2008 and his BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2003. Baclawski currently works at MassArt and is the Design Director at Big Red & Shiny.
