Louise Bourgeois at Cheim and Read


Louise Bourgeois a multi medium artist who has done sculptures, drawings, and prints. She was approached in 1998 about using her style of probing psychodynamics but in an intimate setting of holograms. The holograms are made by laser beams that record the light field reflected from an object, burning it onto a plate of glass and with a one to one scaling down. This creates the eerie remove of light. Bourgeois wanted to make the color red so every detail could be scrutinized and give it that old feel of horror that forces the viewer to contemplate just what deeper meaning each surreal piece has to offer.
