Gorglione & Cherry

Venue: Holos Gallery.

Location: San Francisco, CA, USA.

Date: Dec. 7 1984 - Feb. 28, 1985

Catalog: No.

Type: Holograms, Glass Sculpture & Paintings.

Work by Gorglione & Cherry.

From the Press Release Sent Out by Holos Gallery, San Francisco:
"Gorglione and Cherry"
"An environmental installation of holograms... The artworks in this installation encompass a wide range of technique and revolve around the aesthetic themes of Nature, Man and Death. "Tree" and "Water" are among large collage works (by Gorglione,) each composed of more than twenty multicolored 4" by 5" reflection holograms. Together with (Gorglione's) "Sunrise" a five foot long collage of intense rainbow projections created with diffraction techniques, these works compose the "Nature" section of the installation.

The adjoining section, "Man" presents both figurative beauty as well as images of the more negative impacts of man on nature. Holograms in garish plastic neon colors are featured, and some incorporate a unique new method of computer animated movement by Greg Cherry. "Ship Wreck," a theatrical tableau of real objects and holograms portraying the cabin of a ship about to sink, represents the final section of the installation. As a whole, this exhibit contains an essence of subtle spirituality that is uplifting and positive in nature. The works make provocative statements that demand response from the viewer while hinting at the possibility of realms of consciousness even beyond death...

...Gorglione is recognized as an artist creating works of sensitivity and beauty, while Cherry's extensive and broad ranging technological fluency is well documented. Together, they compliment each other naturally in their expression of science and art."
End of press release excerpt.

The "Ship Wreck" Tableau of Holograms was big fun for the artists to create. Gorglione and Cherry together made "Treasure," a 12" by 16" holographic pirate's map with singed edges and gold coins spilling out of the surface of the hologram. There was a porthole with a hologram inside, and, Greg Cherry made a moving light, a long mechanical armature for a light that moved back and forth across a reflection integral hologram's surface, illuminating a moving "Lantern".

To make this Integral Hologram, "Lantern," Cherry developed computer-animated control for real time movement of actual objects on the holographic isolation table. Each stepped object movement was exposed through a slit which also moved step by step across the holographic film. From 40 to 120 slits eventually composed a real-time animated integral transmission master for reflection copies. Each holographic slit on the master held a different phase of movement. The Master was copied as a gold toned image-plane reflection hologram. For the installation "tableau" the actual swinging light automated the holographic movement of the "Lantern" hologram. (The "Swinging Light" was later purchased without the hologram.)

Gorglione had earlier exhibited "Tree" at the Lightscapes' San Francisco Arts Festival exhibition. This reflection hologram art piece is composed of 35 multicolored image-plane reflection holograms derived from transmission Master holograms of Tree Trunk, Branches, Smaller Branches, and Leaves. The Masters were copied in double exposures using trieth (TEA) color control. The copies were arranged together to form the "Tree."The holograms were laminated and framed together as a single artwork, now in the collection of M.I.T. A smaller version, "Tree II" made by Nancy Gorglione, is in the collection of Greg Cherry.

"Water," another composite holographic art piece of many straight reflection holograms (off-axis reflection holograms not derived from masters) had beautiful shifting colors obtained from the interference and diffraction of watery amorphous objects and "just light."

During the run of this exhibition, on Dec. 21, 1985, Greg Cherry and Nancy Gorglione married. The same week, they formed partnership in Cherry Optical Holography.

Steam Dreams

Venue: San Francisco Hotel.

Location: San Francisco, CA, USA.

Date: July 18, 1984

Catalog: No.

Type: Holography and laser projections.

Laser Affiliates produced a Light Sound Motion performance event for the San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund (now S.F. Grants for the Arts) July 18, 1984, the last day of the Democratic National Convention in the City. Laser Affiliates with Nancy Gorglione, Greg Cherry, and Steve Anderson, had several laser scan systems projecting argon greens and blues through multiple transparent screens. This created moving three dimensional images in space. Early computer graphics were manipulated in the dark room to create the moving three dimensional scanning. Laser Affiliates was joined by Pat Bischoff from Laser Rays Art Production who scanned the fog banks about the classical dome of City Hall. We had a laser illuminated fog fountain along the shallow reflecting pools of our downtown city site. Hence Gorglione's name, "Steam Dreams," but perhaps she was referring to the rhetoric of ever hopeful politicians. Fog Screens and and three dimensional transparent screens and holograms worked together to position the moving laser scan imagery into apparent three dimensional form in space.

As part of the scenery, a twelve foot hologram sculpture, (glass, steel and aluminum, fabricated by Greg Cherry) was composed of hybrid transmission holograms by Nancy Gorglione. As part of their job, these holograms acted as holographic screens for the occasional scanning laser beam. Sixteen 8" by 10" Hybrid Transmission Holograms evoked Gorglione's title, Sunrise/Sunset, with specific imagery projecting rainbows into the performance space.

Dance by Devi Baptiste, draped in chemical light raiment, and music by the Inside-Out Orchestra, including Andrew Hill, Frank Tusa, Don Weed, Steve Heckman, Fred Zabin, and Eddie Moore. A Senator's wife came up to Gorglione and said, "Who paid for this, it's fabulous! Beautiful!" And Gorglione smiled to say, "You did!" With small grants from the NEA Expansion Arts (Haight Ashbury Arts Workshop) and the Zellerbach Family Fund) and a lot of sweat equity from Laser Affiliates and Cherry Optical Holography. Lasers were loaned for this event from Spectra-Physics, Inc. & Coherent, Inc.
