'DEJA VU' - Holographic Art and 3D Display Exhibition
Presenting holographic art and display works by
Al Razutis, Melissa Crenshaw Gary Cullen,
and including 3D works by invited guest artists Rick Gibson (Lenticular
3D portraits), and John Hart and Jerry Oldaker (3D Fractals
in HD 3D video).
Exhibited on October 16 to 22, 2010, in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Wall, sculpture and master transmission holographic works were on exhibit, as well as projected stereoscopic 3D video art and legacy (analog) video displays (CRT/LCS glasses). Many of these holographic works and 3D works have been internationally exhibited.
Of special note was an exhibition of the 'history of stereo photography' as represented by cameras and viewing devices from the 1800's/1900's from the collection of Gary Cullen.
Curating and installation of exhibit was by the artists.
Installation assistance provided by Rick Gibson, Peter Lowry, Kari Cullen, Vern Moen, Anne Popperwell, Darius Razutis, Agasel Lindawan, Stefan Razutis, Quin James and Alex Razutis. Plasma 3DTV courtesy of Jacks TV & Stereo, Delta, B.C..
Added stereo 3D and holographic displays were provided by Bernd Simson from Capilano University. Deja Vu came with catering, provided by Anne Popperwell and friends.
The opening night is subject to a 'chef's treatment' in the 3D video of 'Ensalada', in two versions,

BACKGROUND: "In October 2010 an exhibition of pioneering works by Vancouver artists-holographers Al Razutis, Melissa Crenshaw and Gary Cullen was presented 'free admission' (and without government grants or external curators) to Vancouver audiences who largely unfamiliar with what had been created in their city from the early seventies onwards. "Holography had not been publicly exhibited in Vancouver in an art context since the 1980's (Razutis' last exhibition at SFU Gallery) and had never been exhibited alongside stereoscopic 3D works, history, and related art forms. "This show presented the two forms of '3D imaging' - stereoscopic 3D photography, and its offshoot lenticular 3D image photography, and holography in its many forms (as art, display, in reflection, interferometric, rainbow, transmission hologram forms) in a manner of relating these forms to each other, not to chart out exclusive domains for any of this work. "The primary impetus and content behind this show was provided by Al Razutis and Gary and Kari Cullen. They supplied most of the content, the broad technical expertise to encompass holography and stereoscopic 3D exhibitions as both Razutis and the Cullens were 3D - holographics experts and experienced in these fields since the 1970's. Furthermore, overnight security was provided by Al Razutis and extensive photo and label documentations for the exhibition was done by Gary and Kari Cullen. Opening and closing night catering by Anne Popperwell and friends. "The show was attended by hundreds of this and next gen people, some familiar with this medium or the artist, some new. It was a week long event, didn't appear in the news, was advertised on social media or by word of mouth. Then the show vanished, and throughout the following decades there has hardly been a 'murmur' about these 3D works or if they will ever be seen in Vancouver again. Vancouver pioneering has vanished from the cultural radar, until the next gen proves the amnesiacs wrong." (A.R.) |

CURATOR'S STATEMENT 'REDEFINING 3D IN SPACE AND TIME: FROM DAGUERRE TO HOLOGRAPHY TO HD 3D FRACTALS' "Imagine an exhibition where the past of the 1800's and 1900's arrives in the same time and place as holography and stereoscopic HD 3D, where Daguerre's 3D photos, holography, and 3D fractals can be experienced, as if 'informing' each other's content and forms. This exhibition, rather than being a conflation of history, suggests our capacity to embrace 'vision and desire to see more' implicates a thirst for the intangible made real through imaging art and technologies. This exhibition hopes to stimulate new imaginations of the real, and new works in light, and perhaps some new directions will be based on the startling juxtapositions and insights found in this show. "The artists are the curators of 'Deja Vu',
and while the exhibition is fleeting and held only for one week,
and the locale is Vancouver, Canada, where many of these works
in holography, stereo 3D, lenticular 3D, stereoscopic 3D video
were pioneered and created, the conjunction of all these previously
disparate moments in time and space has found a 'moment in time'
where some clarity and a insight of the future can arise."
