Chicago--Time on a Wire combines photography, film, sound, and poetry to explore the experience of sky at dusk. For this installation, three artists collaborate on the theme of the elasticity of time: how the simple act of watching the sunset is immediate and sensory, but also intangible and abstract.

Hagen W. Dost is a photographer who grew up taking German lessons at the DANK Haus. His work was exhibited at the Rough Space Gallery last November. For this exhibition, he created nineteen photographs that capture the subtle intervals in color at nightfall. windowboy.blogspot.com

Jeffrey Mark Robinson is a sound and installation artist. He has made recordings in museums across the country, including the MCA in Chicago, MOMA PS1 in New York, and the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. His latest recording was made this summer at the Art Center Berlin Friedrichstrasse. www.jeffreymrobinsonsounds.com

Cherie Caswell Dost is a poet and a regular essayist for Chicago Public Radio. She will perform a poetry reading at the exhibition opening, from her series of poems titled “Nocturne.” cheriecaswelldost.blogspot.com
