OPENING RECEPTION September 19, 2025 | 6 - 9 PMCurator/Artist Talk 6:45 PM Spectral Field is a newly commissioned plasma sculpture installation by Austin-based artist Anahita (Ani) Bradberry that investigates the mindset required to imagine the unfathomable: the baffling cosmic scales of stars, time, particles, displacement, loss, and interconnectedness. The exhibition seeks to offer an atmosphere of contemplation and lucidity, observing the moment when an idea that seems too vast is transformed into a visceral and comprehensible feeling. In choreography with the cycle of the sun and moon through the gallery, the work is both a constructed celestial environment rooted in place and time as well as a psychological space for communing with the ineffable. Visitors are invited to spend time with the work, from the day to evening hours, to watch and consider the passage of time. The installation will include aspects of Bradberry's collaboration with scientist Christopher M. Johns-Krull, a professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University, as part of the Open Interval Cohort—a collaborative program for artists, scientists, and art organizations—awarded by the Simons Foundation’s Science, Society and Culture division. Spectral Field will be on view through November 8, 2025. Gallery Hours are Thursdays - Saturdays, 2–8 pm. […]
