From Lithuania to Belarus

HoloExpo-2011 Installation View

In October I travelled to Minsk with artist Isabel Azevedo to take part in the HoloExpo 2011 conference.  The accompanying exhibition at the National Academy of Science of Belarus was fantastic.   Isabel and I both exhibited holograms and were interviewed by the local TV station about our work.

There were approximately 150 holograms being exhibited; the collection included display holograms, museum works and fine art holograms.  Many of the holograms were full-colour and animated.
 

Boots by Isabel Azevedo

Isabel's hologram Boots, was stunning, the silver boots kicked as you walked past them. Other works of art that I admired included Paula Dawson's 'Luminous Presence; and Martin Richardson's Over the Rainbow.

Paula Dawson's Luminous Presence 2007.

 Over the Rainbow by Martin Richardson

Isabel and Michel Grossman are shown in front of my holograms Typhoon 2009 and Through History.  

The exhibition is open to the public at the Academy until December.
