This is the Same as That

8.27.11 - 9.18.11
David Murray Letha Wilson

LVL3 is proud to present its first two-person exhibition, This is the Same as That, featuring the work of Dave Murray and Letha Wilson. This is the Same as That explores the relationship between the real and the unreal, the physical and the imagined.  Working in photography, sculpture, installation and performance, both artists play with materiality and material limitations in order to create a natural duplicity.  Murray investigates the processes of assimilation and accommodation and how they work together to create value through accumulation.  Wilson combines photographic images of natural landscapes with architectural elements, calling upon and questioning the ability of an artwork to carry its viewer.  Drawing from minimalist influences, Murray and Wilson maintain the authority of concept over and above object in each of their artistic practices, while still creating visually striking work attainable to all audiences.
