Skinn is an exhibition that showcased two related projects that have been in development for the past year. The projects center on a unique investigation into consciousness, and the structures that emerge naturally from the mind. These two projects, Second Skin, which relates to architecture and CorteX which involves clothing design, form part of a much larger investigation into the "form consequence" of thought and of other mental processes. In other words, this line of investigation seeks to generate a direct connection between the moment a thought is generated, or rather emerges from a background of consciousness, and its manifestation as a thought-object.

Eclipse

by New York based video artist Marybeth Ward was projected onto the stucco wall of the building adjoining Materials & Applications during the opening nights of the Skinn exhibit. Eclipse is the deconstruction of images of the New York Stock Exchange neon sign above Times Square and from a Korn music video that culminates in a mystifying reflection of the moon eclipsed. Video, a time-based medium, allows Ward to manipulate time and space as a means of exploring the process of perception and the experience of vision. Ward often juxtaposes electronic images with elements both man-made and organic revealing the elemental forces locked within and around them.

Ward has a background in the avant-garde theater; she has for many years been associated the LaMaMa Experimental Theater in New York. Her recent installations - La Danse des Arbres; Embryo; Triptych #1: Eclipse, Reflexion and Infinity; Reflexions on Gogol and Things That Quicken the Heart have been presented in New York, the Netherlands, and Spoleto, Italy.
