Mock Sun

January 7 - March 15, 2023

Curated by Ivan Iannoli

A Mock Sun, also called a Sun Dog or Phantom Sun, is a visual phenomenon that makes for the appearance of three Suns. And while Mock Suns are not actual suns, they’re not exactly not suns either — they still make us squint. They are visual manifestations of complex interplays between light, its scattering, ice in the clouds, the angle of view, and other natural interactions between the world and our senses. Mock Suns offer a space where vision, perception, the real, and the unreal coexist, together failing at clean delineation. The works in this exhibition similarly approach failed accounts of the real, real accounts of the failed, sensual deception, and visual play.
