"DELTA TIME" September 16, 2003 - June 7, 2004
Curated by: KOAN-JEFF BAYSA Curatorial Statement Bio Email Personal Web Site	"DELTA TIME" is the mathematical expression for "change over time." In general, traditional visual art is thought of as static and in two or three dimensions, and traditional film and video thought of similarly as incorporating and recording the passage of time. In this exhibition entitled "DELTA TIME," 2-D and 3-D works are foregrounded as functions of time increments. Julianne Swartz creates an installation of reflected lights and actions from indoors and outdoors that change instantaneously, from moment to moment, 24/7. Lambert Fernando layers his work with a special coating that degrades itself daily as a result of exposure to changing heat, humidity, and light, gradually exposing an underpainting. Fred Fleisher and Jona Lagman trace their singular but parallel past histories and trajectories "from geeks to superstars" in an installation that updates itself periodically during the course of the exhibition. Each work in "DELTA TIME" deploys temporal elements in subtle, startling, and humorous ways.

Jonathan Lagman and I are focusing on our past, where we may have looked, or even acted like geeks AND in the present or future we have gone beyond this to the other extreme. Jonathan is thinking of feelings of displacement and having to deal with this as a young person (thus an insecurity may have developed). My thoughts about my working-class past and who I was and where I am from are my central issues. While we don't think of ourselves as Superstars, we'd like to think that geeks can transform into Superstars. Of course, there is an element of humor in this, but also a version of believing in the underdog.

This piece is about the perception of being a "Superstar" and the life of being a geek. It is about thinking how "cool" one might be but looking back and realizing how "uncool" it really was. The entire project is about the evolution of this personality into and finally becoming a "Superstar"; but the evolution is ongoing and the geekiness is underlying. The focus of the project is the perception one might have of themselves and the perception that people from the outside might have on them---"SUPERSTAR"?
