The Twelfth Gate in some alchemical texts is know as “projection”, and is a

step in the transmutation of matter from one form to another. "Reflection"

is a term used in some programming languages and refers to the means by

which an interface or function can describe itself to a user – that is,

reveal what it is. This work will start from source code, normally hidden,

project and reflect it and then do the same to the space it resides in.

 



"The Twelfth Gate, Reflected", is a site-specific installation at Pace

University. Brochure available at the gallery.





Luke Murphy will speak publicly about his work on Tues Mar 28, 6:30 pm, with

artist Marcin Ramocki.



Rev. Luke Murphy is an information-based artist, based in New York, whose

work is united by common themes drawn from the impossible task of

quantifying the elements of the psyche and spirit. He has a particular

interest in the Gnostic gospels, Masonic ritual, religious paintings and

digital languages - in effect, codes.



Murphy has had solo exhibitions recently at Canada Gallery in NYC;

Wynick/Tuck Gallery in Toronto; Buro Fur Photo in Cologne, Germany; and Home

in Queens, NY. His work has also been featured at vertexList in Brooklyn,

NY; Greene Naftali in NYC; Märkischen Museum in Berlin; and The Queens

Museum of Art in Queens, NY. He has given performances at The Kitchen and

PS122, both in NYC.
