Eric William Carroll approaches light as his artistic material. Using light and blueprint paper he transforms three-dimensional objects and spaces into two-dimensional images. His exhibition “All Buildings Dream In Blueprints” is a re-installation (of sorts) of Augsburg College’s annual All Student Juried Art Exhibition that took place in the Christensen Center Art Gallery last April. The artworks’ physical mass and cast shadows now exist anew in blueprint form. Carroll expects his work to make viewers re-evaluate their spatial and visual experiences since, as the artist explains, “In each photogram lie the shadows of every passing figure, piece of furniture, and source of light.” Light is always transforming objects and spaces around us and Carroll captures a moment that reminds us that our experience of these things is transitory.

Carroll, a 2006 graduate of the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities’s MFA program in photography, has participated in a number of solo and group exhibitions including the Minnesota Center for Photography and the Rochester Art Center. In 2006 he received an Art City Professional Artist Residencyin Winnipeg, Manitoba as well as an Emerging Artist Fellowship from the Blacklock Nature Sanctuary in Minnesota.

All events are free and open to the public.
