Like Sound Going Sideways, is presented by Los Angeles World Airports, in partnership with the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, as part of the Art Exhibits Program at LAX. The exhibition is located in Terminal 7's ticketing area and departures hallway. It features a series of collages and collage-based prints that examine natural phenomena and the intersection of culture and nature. Combining his own photography of unique geological terrain with outdated scientific graphics and Art Deco patterns, artist Timothy Nolan’s invented landscapes juxtapose natural and man-made imagery, suggesting ecosystems in transition. The larger works, such as the wall mural and light box, expand the boundaries of the imagery. The results marry Nolan’s interest in abstract painting and Pop Art with a fascination for quantum mechanics and astrophysics. Nolan invites viewers to consider our shifting perspective of the world and our quest for discovery beyond the visible realm. (See a sampling of the work above.)
