We are pleased to announce an exhibition walkthrough led by Nancy L. Meyer of Bonita Helmer's new show "In the Midst of Chaos." The walkthrough and conversation will be centered on the ideas and themes presented by Helmer in her new body of work.
In addition to Helmer's solo work, "Merge," a collaborative project between Helmer and Lauren Kasmer will be on view in the Project Space. Bonita Helmer's paintings are abstract references to physics and space. Lauren Kasmer's multimedia video installations reflect the natural world of the earth, as we know it. This project is created by two artists with two different disciplines who share the same principles in their work.

Bonita Helmer explores scientific theories of physics, astronomy, the inner and outer realms of existence, and the unseen elements of our universe in her paintings. Helmer began her investigation of this work prior to 2000; she is authentically involved in the importance of physics, subatomic research, black holes, the birth of stars, supernovas, and Einstein’s “God Theory,” gravity, energy, heavy elements and collapsing gas and dust to name a few. Helmer’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Exhibitions include: Brut Insterstellar, Raumzeit (Space Time), Kunstraum F200 Galerie, Berlin; MOCA, Beijing; a solo show at L’Espace Bateau Lavoir, L’Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris; an official adjunct show as part of the MOCA Los Angeles, Whack retrospective of Women in Art.
