Yuki Maruyama
Opening Reception: Jan 10 (6-9pm)
Residency + Exhibition: Jan 1 - 26
Stylistically rooted in comics and sequential art, Yuki is inspired by the ever-expanding potential of drawing and by the elastic nature of visual perception. For her Adobe Books Backroom Gallery project, she will create an immersive red-and-cyan drawing installation that explores the effect of binocular rivalry, i.e. the optical experience produced by anaglyph 3D glasses— its full impact can only be encountered in person with individually screen-printed 3D glasses provided by the artist.
After an initial installation week, Yuki will spend the following weeks adding and subtracting details, patterns, and other elements to the piece.

Fine art photographer & web designer Ari Salomon exhibits a new series of light boxes in the front window of Adobe Books.
“I am concerned with what motion reveals about the quality of a light source: does it flicker or vibrate, does it intersect with other lights, does it reveal an architectural shape or obscure it? These images blend a thin slice of space and a thick slice of time to create fiction from a mundane reality.”
