About the Item
Created for the 2017 Whitney Biennial, Aurora uses a photograph of a dense, lush landscape captured at dawn. For this work, Soto developed a technique using layers of face-mounted, laser cut acrylic arranged to create receding patterns. The reflections and patterns change depending on the distance from the viewer, creating a more intimate experience. This piece forms part of a series that uses reflections and surface patterns to generate complexity from the surrounding landscape.
Aurora borrows the same aesthetics as Focus, a public arts project the artist created for the 2016 Flux Art Fair in New York City, but adds the photographic elements within its layers, creating a surface that both magnifies and obscures its surface.
The use of gold mirror is a common theme in his work to suggest the fragility of the natural world and our visual perception of it.
Aurora is included in the DEBTFAIR/OCCUPY Museums installation in this year's Whitney Biennial.
José Soto was born in Puerto Rico and has been living and working in New York for seven years.
Soto uses photography, video, sculpture, and installation to transform the complex visual structures of nature into artistic objects. He creates works of art that explore the physical experience of looking through photography and invite the viewer to reexamine his/her own perception of form, light, and space in the natural landscape.
He earned his BFA from the Escuela de Artes Plásticas, San Juan, and holds an MFA in photography from Parsons The New School for Design.
Among the awards he has received are Retrancado, fist_ART.FOUNDATION, Dorado, PR (2014), Permm Stop Public Art Project, Museum of Contemporary Art, Perm, Russia (2012), and Gold Award from B&W Photography (2006).
In 2009 he had a solo show in San Juan, presented by Walter Otero Gallery and Viota Gallery.
His work has been exhibited in a number of group shows in New York, San Juan, Valencia, and Pingyao. Among these shows are ODETTA, Brooklyn, NY (2016), Camera Work, Parsons The New School for Design, New York, NY (2015); Hot or Cold?, BronxArtSpace, Bronx, NY (2015); Art INCUBARTE 7, Museo Valenciano de la Ilustración y la Modernidad, Valencia, Spain (2015); Muestra Nacional de Arte, Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña, San Juan, PR (2015); Región 0: Video Art Festival, New York University, New York, NY (2013); Puerto Rico: Doorway to the Landscape, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, San Juan, PR (2013); Pingyao Photo Festival, Pingyao, China (2011); The Culture of Now, Aperture Magazine, New York, NY (2011); 11 del 2011, Museo de Arte de Ponce, Ponce, PR (2011); and Puerto Rican Photography, Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña, San Juan, PR (2011).
Soto has been a teaching artist for Aperture Foundation since 2014.

View AllAngie Drakopoulos, Element1, 2018, Acrylic On Print, 11 x 14 Framed
By Angie Drakopoulos
Located in Darien, CT
Using symmetry as a basis, Drakopoulos derives structure by combining elements from the natural world and science. Modifying these elements digitally, Drakopoulos distills into a pattern or shape, and then layers them with a different structure and repeats the process of layering paint in resin. She tries to find the most subtle and interesting way to connect the different layers that will reveal an underlying structure or system.
Slowly as the work evolves, these inner-connections and details begin to form and define the energy and invisible forces that govern the movement of matter, from the microcosmic level of molecules and light particles, to the macrocosmic of planets and galaxies. Drakopoulos views the cosmos as a primordial, all encompassing field within which the illusion of matter is created and dissolved. In this field, particles come together to create complex structures and matter evolves into its maximum state of order. This moment is temporary, a state of transition. The form will subsequently dissolve and the process will begin again. The central images that appear in her work describe this moment of emergence. They are not a representation of actual cosmic phenomena but rather an invented image of an inner mindscape. When attention is directed to the infinite vast field, which contains all of existence in potential, the holographic matrix of the universe is revealed, of which our consciousness is an interwoven part.

Esther Podemski, Color Correction_3, 2014, Digital Pigment Print
By Esther Podemski
Located in Darien, CT
Esther Podemski is an artist working across disciplines. While in post-production on one of her recent films, she discovered that the color correction software program she used could be translated into paintings and works on paper. The new shapes originated as screen grabs from color corrections of individual frames in the post-production computer software. The source for these images comes from film footage frames of a priest on a Florence street...
