Laser Affiliates Ten Year Retrospective

Venue: Holos Gallery.

Location: San Francisco, USA.

Date: June through September, 1986

Catalog: No.

Type: All Holography.

Group exhibition with recent holograms by Nancy Gorglione and Greg Cherry.

Laser Affiliates published the Light Sound Motion performance philosophy catalog and introduced it at this exhibition. On view were hand silk-screened posters of Laser Affiliates’ performances by Jos Sances and Nancy Gorglione; photographs of Light Sound Motion performances by Laser Affiliates’ Greg Cherry, Nancy Gorglione, Steve Anderson, Jeffrey W. Milton and Steve Gill; and new holograms by Nancy Gorglione and Greg Cherry.

Cherry exhibited his new large format diffraction gratings, some complex and deep space holograms about 3’ by 4’ and other new reflection holograms.

Gorglione exhibited several major pieces of holographic art, reflection hologram composites including “Bouquet”, 32” by 36”; 4 by 5’s and 5 inch by 4 inch size holographic plates of fresh flowers arranged in a vase in water, holographed in pastel colors and tones of white; now in the collection of the World of Holography International Exhibition and pictured in their catalog.

Another Gorglione original on view was “Woman as Music,” a reflection hologram composite with imagery and acid colors arranged to set up musical rhythm patterns.

A third Gorglione piece, “Double Tiime or Second Thoughts for the Amazon.” 33 inches by 33 inches. Amazonians have over 400 words to describe shades of green, the perfect color for reflection holography at the time. Through TEA and processing, Gorglione managed to capture about 30 shades of green In this piece, The Amazon was image-planed from multiple masters of ferns and fronds and palms and flax; with a brass holographic clock reminding us of phenomena, and the need to preserve forest canopies.

This exhibit was the subject of several strong reviews, including “For Art’s Sake,” by Louis Brill, L.A.S.E.R. News Vol. 3 #2 Summer/Fall 1986.
