view finder is one of seven commissions in the series "in the path of totality," backed by the science and mathematics-dedicated simons foundation. this initiative promotes collaboration among an artist, a curator, and a scientist, blending their talents to capture the artistic inspiration derived from the total solar eclipse — an awe-inspiring phenomenon that has fascinated both human imagination and animal experience since the dawn of time. view finder was researched by fridge in collaboration with planetary scientist dr. mary urquhart of university of texas at dallas and curated by dallas contemporary deputy director lucia simek, and each element contemplates the lens. this includes the lens of the artist's camera, the lens of the car window, and the lens of words printed on a page — each serving as a filter through which one experiences and interprets the eclipse.
this work was made possible by the simons foundation and is part of its #inthepathoftotality initiative. other locations and activations to be announced on a rolling basis through DC social media channels: @dallascontemporary, #dallascontemporary
