323 Projects is pleased to present Volume by Brookhart Jonquil.
For this exhibition Jonquil invites callers to 323 Projects to ponder the particularities of space and sound and our interpretations of what we cannot see first-hand.

Arte No Es Fácil

ARTE NO ES FÁCIL is a self-reflexive artwork based in creating relationships beyond pictures between Cuba and the U.S. through the manifestation of art. The current phase of the project is a three-week exhibition series exploring public presentation as a means of creating a more expansive discussion about art and political realities. Collaborative works produced by pairings of emerging artists from Havana and Chicago will be presented at Links Hall in Chicago from January - March 2012.

Lumber Icosahedron, 2011
Acrylic mirror, paint, lumber, custom hardware
7ft 6in x 8ft x 4ft

Lumber Icosahedron is from a series of "Light Objects"- in which mundane materials such as lumber or illuminated fluorescent tubes pass through precisely cut holes in structures made of acrylic mirror. In each piece, the angles of the mirrors and of the intersecting objects cause the reflections to form specific geometric arrangements. These reflections created in the mirrors are not simply multiplications of the object, rather, the images in the mirrors combine with the physical material to create a single composition, a sculpture that is a hybrid of the physical and the immaterial. There is no optical illusion in these works, the viewer is never fooled, while the geometric shapes have a very real presence in the perception of the viewer, the physical objects equally maintain their reality as mundane objects. This creates a double-awareness, a resolved paradox in which the thing that is and the thing that isn't coexist.

Building Pyramids, 2011
Acrylic mirror, paint, gold spray paint on floor
7ft 6in x 8ft x 4ft

The mirrors that make up Building Pyramids are placed at a precise angle relative to each other and to the floor, so that the way the floor tilts back in the reflection recreates the proportions of the three main pyramids in Giza. The floor, spray painted gold, retains its own material texture while distorting to create a new architectural form. The arced shape of the mirrors describe a sphere in their reflections, the circumference of each being equal to the base of each virtual pyramid, thereby "squaring the circle" as the Egyptian pyramids do. The placement of the objects on the floor also corresponds to their Giza counterparts, as does their orientation to the North.

Never Odd or Even, 2011
Wood, steel, custom made books, ready-made objects, concrete, drywall
30ft x 30ft x 30ft

Installed at Dorsch Gallery in Miami.
Never Odd or Even is a room-sized installation in which an anonymous looking work station- a table, a chair, painted lumber and a saw horse- are physically doubled across an imaginary plane, as though through a mirror. Some objects intersect with their doppelgangers, some are nearly lost, resulting in new forms that increasingly tend toward abstraction. For the viewer this creates a feeling of paradox, an uncertainty about reality. The viewer is not tricked, they are not fooled into thinking a mirror is present, yet when talking about the piece they invariably use the vocabulary of illusion to describe their experience- this object is a reflection of that object. Though both are simply objects, their existence becomes interdependent. The title, like the installation, is a palindrome, and is taken from an invented book that is pinned beneath one leg of the table, which in the upside-down room creates an absurd reversal of gravity.

Biospehere Displacent Prism, 2011
Digitally altered photograph, sintra mounted archival inkjet print
30in x 44in

The Displacement Prism series explores the dual nature of the photograph, a physical object, and a flat depiction of dimensional space. Using 3D modeling software, a virtual prism is placed within the digital photograph. The displacement of light occurs within the two-dimensional material of the image, not the photographed environment. The photograph is permanantly bonded to an acrylic sheet, an image embedded in a prism.

Power Split, 2011
Altered light fixture, two electrical outlets
Dimensions Variable

Power Split consists of a common work-light, the electrical cord to which has been sliced along its length. The plug, divided into two parts, is inserted into two separate electrical outlets. This simple gesture defies the architectural structure, creating a new circuit that bridges and vividly activates the space between the outlets. It seems to break the rules, and restores to electricity a kind of elemental vitality. The piece responds in dramatically different ways to changes in its configuration- it can bridge outlets across a wall, across a room, even between two separate buildings, a configuration that challenges not only architectural structures, but economic structures and the abstract concept of energy ownership.

Full Length, 2011
Prefabrcated mirror with accompanying hardware
15in x 24in x 36in

A mirror is broken and placed at a right angle against a wall. The dimensions of this mirror corrspond to the human body, which seems to have now slumped down. The angle of the mirror causes the viewers reflection to be flipped upside down, and curiously, wherever the viewer may move, the reflection of their eyes is always at the intersection of the two planes.

The viewer climbs a short ladder to look through two mirrors set at 90°. The mirrors split the vision: one eye sees a dart stuck in the wall, the other eye sees a drawing of the same. The mind interprets the two sources as a single reality, a thing existing as both an object and a drawing.

Distance and Distortion, 2010
Metalized polyester film, fluorescent lights, steel
Dimensions Variable

Installed in a 25ft-high shaft that formerly was occupied by a fireman's pole. Two sheets of reflective film are streched from the floor to the ceiling at a slightly acute angle, causing a set of fluorescent tubes installed overhead to reflect infinitly into a huge arc. Due to the qualities of the thin film, as the reflections multiply out into the distance, they are increasingly distorted. The dynamic visual effect is similar to that of being under water.
