Tomorrow night and Friday are the last chances to see Boston artist Ben K. Foley’s mind-bending exhibition “Your New {Cosmic} Reality” at the Dorchester Art Project in Boston. The show closes Friday, June 29.
Foley uses arrangements of mirrored glass to create apparitions. Shine a laser pointer at one collection of mirrors and the green light seems bounce around and multiply and get caught inside the box. Another piece is a box standing on a post. Look inside and you see a shimmering orb that seems to be a hologram, maybe. A third piece includes a grid of nails that, when touched, affects lighting bouncing inside a mirrored box and in turn a projection on the end wall. Another artwork invites you to look through a prism at board of flat black and white rectangular designs that start to seem three-dimensional.
Dorchester Art Project gallery hours: Wednesday 3 to 9 p.m. Closing reception Friday June 29, 6 to 9 p.m.
