Two new works, both of which use light as a raw material, will be on view at Marian Spore from 8 December.

For his series ‘Notes for a History of Light,’ presented as a work in-progress, Joe Winter shines ordinary lamps on colored paper over long periods of time, creating delicate abstract compositions as the pigment gradually deteriorates. Graham Parker’s ‘Kid Weil’ consists of a neon sign hanging above a reflecting puddle. The text of the sign is appropriated from the subject line of a spam email consisting of a single word, ‘cacklebladder,’ which was a 19th-century slang term for a prop that grifters would use to fake their own deaths.
