    Alter Space: Nightmare City - The Photic Wave

    artist art

    This is one of those shows where even after reading and rereading the statement, I get who did the installation pictured above-- Nightmare City-- but have no idea what's showing in the rear gallery. Fortunately the gallery owner subsequently enlightened me that Nightmare City is responsible for it all. But for future reference, not everyone who goes to lots of gallery shows (and plenty of people do) will know everything about every artist in every one of 'em, or be able to read between the lines of a complicated statement. I try my best to give credit where credit is due but unfortunately do not always succeed. And I don't always have the luxury of chatting up the owners. Thanks in advance for your consideration in this regard.
