Shadowgrams

Venue: Museum of Holography

Location: 11 Mercer St, New York, NY, USA.

Date: December 7, 1979 - March 2, 1980.

Catalog: Yes

Type: All Holography

One-man retrospective by Rick Silberman. This show was the culmination of Silbeman's eight years in the medium and demonstrated the rear-lit reflection holography technique which he pioneered.

"Shadowgrams" are holograms, although the image seen by the viewer is of the shadow of an object rather than the object itself -- similar to Man Ray's "shadowgraph," a technique used in photography. The exhibition included his early single plate holograms, such as "Gyroscope" and "Ball and Jacks" to one of his latest, "The Meeting." This shadowgram fused holographic and material reality in a wine glass, the top half of which ws a projected image and the base an actual piece of crystal. The show included a number of assemblages that combined holograms and "shadowgrams" with normal 3-dimensional objects to form visual sculptures.
