Charlotte Becket: Interference Landscape

Time Equities Inc. Art-in-Buildings is pleased to announce the newest exhibition in AiB Gallery at Travelers Towers, Charlotte Becket: Interference Landscape.

 Charlotte Becket’s newest installation, Interference Landscape, investigates the outcome of interference and moiré patterns, which are visual errors that are unintentionally produced in digital imagery, print, and video. This type of visual distortion occurs when two very similar patterns are misaligned and pass over each other in layers, creating an illusion of movement caused by the slight offset. The effect that is produced is a hallucinogenic and mirage-like pattern that can trick the eye.

Speaking about her practice, Becket says “This work explores the illusionistic potential of physical materials, the translation between digital and analogue processes, and the conceptual implications of a visually erratic composition, the result of a minor error in calibration. In their construction, these works physically replicate digital information distortion, misrepresentation, and miscommunication.”

Charlotte Becket lives and works in New York City where she is an Associate Professor at Pace University. She attended Hunter College’s MFA program. Solo and two-person exhibitions include LaMama Galleria, New York City, Valentine Gallery NY, Crisp Gallery in London, LEAP in Berlin, Taxter and Spengemann in New York City as well as group exhibitions at Gazelli Art House in London, Gasser and Grunert, Anna Kustera, NY Studio Gallery, Passerby and the Invitational Exhibition Academy of Arts and Letters in New York City. She has been invited to lecture on her work at various galleries and universities and has been the recipient of grants from The New York Foundation for the Arts, Socrates Sculpture Park, The Joan Mitchell Foundation, The Tony Smith Foundation, the Verizon Foundation, and the Center for Book Arts. Her work has been reviewed in The New York Times, TimeOut London, ArtForum, and Art in America, among others, and included in the publication, 100 Artists, a compendium of interviews with 100 international contemporary artists by Francesca Gavin.

Interference Landscape is curated by Tessa Ferreyros with Bryce Grates and is sponsored by Time Equities Inc. (TEI) Art-in-Buildings Program. TEI is committed to enriching the experience of our properties through the Art-in-Buildings Program, an innovative approach that brings contemporary art by emerging and mid-career artists to non-traditional exhibition spaces in the interest of promoting artists, expanding the audience for art, and creating a more interesting environment for our building occupants, residents, and their guests.
