Lines of Flight explores vector geometry as a platform for the organization of speed and space. The exhibition is an attempt to present a variety of visual systems that use directional, repeatable pathways as analogs for more ubiquitous social and biological organization. Vectors incorporate power and speed - their trajectories crisscross manmade and organic systems, both constituting and dividing them. Lines of Flight features paintings, drawings and sculpture that use vectors to elaborate expressive maps and affective models, providing emblematic structures that explore the arrangement of these forces. The show offers parallels to the general makeup of explicit (seen) and implicit (unseen) systems, suggesting larger instances where the consistency of multiple vectors enfold into single, unified networks, constituting events that collapse time and eliminate distance.

Open by appointment through May 25.
