Threshold Presents RobRoy Chalmers
12.14.2010 Threshold
RobRoy Chalmers has been making art for over 20 years. His primary focus has been 2-D but he has been know to dabble in 3-D and performance.
His current project The Sporozoan Cavities Suite of prints has spawned a number of side projects most notably The Sporozoan Swarm. This object with a projected 500,000 components is a free floating modular piece made up of torn and cut Intaglio and Lithographic prints that are pinned to surfaces with stick pins. Like topography they describe an unknown space that draws viewers into its patterns and details.

RobRoy Chalmers will create his largest install of The Sporozoan Swarm, to date, at Mithun’s Threshold Gallery. This install will guide viewers through a visually complex and exciting vision. It will delve into the artists ideas on art object and its relationship with modifying space and decoration. Chalmers will be at Mithun’s offices for the opening on December 16th (time here) and will give a short talk followed by Q & A.
Opening Reception: Thursday, December 16th from 5-7pm
Show Dates: December 16th – February 9th, 2011
THRESHOLD is a space for creative inquiry and exposure showcasing local and regional art in a variety of mediums. As architects, we believe art can influence and shape ideas in the built world. Of special interest is work that demonstrates innovative vision with an awareness of current issues. We choose to use our lobby as an ever-evolving transition space open to all kinds of circumstance and creativity.
