Radiant Logic
Adrienne Klein

June 1 - July 19, 2008

Klein’s work often lets the viewer look through and beyond transparent layers. The work gives you options for what you may focus on, with the clear suggestion that there are multiple perspectives. This is especially true of the hologram that is central to this exhibition of new work; an illogical variation on a logic diagram appears to float over a video image of the Earth.

This exhibition featured stunning self-portraits created at the Museum of Holography in 1989. The artists experimented with pulse laser illumination to create dramatic slithers of themselves that are intertwined yet hold their own space.

PETER NICHOLSON, PIONEER OF PULSE LASER HOLOGRAPHY DIED IN MIAMI DECEMBER 2003

Peter Nicholson, artist, inventor and pioneer of pulse laser holography died suddenly of a heart attack in Miami where he had gone to attend the Basel Art Fair.   Peter became involved in holography after meeting Lloyd Cross in the early 70's.    He became director of the Smithsonian Holography Program at Brookhaven National Laboratories where he was the first artist to explore the possibilities of pulse portraiture.    With Ana Maria Nicholson he founded the Center for Experimental Holography and moved it to the University of Hawaii.    While there they made portraits of the Governor and other notables including Agnes Lum and Arnold Schwarzenegger.   In the 1980's and 1990's he was Founder and President of Holographics, Inc., a research and development company where he invented and produced a miniaturized portable pulse laser with an incorporated camera called the "Portraitist".   Later this camera was adapted for non-destructive testing of aircraft.   He obtained over $600,000 in National Science Foundation grants to develop a miniature pulse laser using a new crystal praseodymium which he hoped would further the development of color holography.   He held 10 U.S. patents.
