Gabe Flores - "Confirmation Data"
Originally conceived as a way to swap their typical media (painting for Wunnan and installation for Flores), this show draws on each artist’s personal history, exploring how they sense and perceive. Wunnan’s severe synesthesia and Flores’ experience with what he terms “alternative perceptions to the statistical norm” overlap in a shared interest in peak experiences, sensory displacement, and their relationship to their active arts practice.
"The Chambers" - Part 1
Ním Wunnan
Using semi-transparent membranes and two-way mirrors, the moment of the viewers' experience becomes the exhibit for the rest of the audience.I hope to create a context in which altered perceptions, non-neurotypical states of mind, and intimacy can be engaged in public by a mixed audience. The configuration of the chambers will allow individuals to experience intense or disorienting sensations in private while exposing their experience to the rest of the gallery.
The Chambers will conclude with Part 2 at Place in March, 2013.

Gabe Flores
A series of topographies or rhythms utilizing what Flores thinks of as his go to strengths: stamina, dedication, and endurance. Although, he’s the first to admit that maybe he’s just lying to himself and that maybe his ability to fool himself is really what he does best.
