Trespass


Lynn Silverman & Glenn Shrum, Trespass, March 2006


Trespass uses light, image, and reflection to explore the changing conditions found in an empty room. Steady and intermittent shadows from a single window animate the space. A photograph records the seasonal transformation outside the window, and a mirror provides additional views of the room. The order of the two inserted elements becomes apparent as night falls in the urban environment. After dark, the wall opposite this display becomes animated with moving light from passing traffic.





Lynn Silverman  received her BFA in Photography from the Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York, and her MA in Fine Arts from Goldsmiths' College, London. She has produced more than 15 exhibitions of work, and her photographs are included in the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, the Australian National Gallery, Canberra, and the Middlesbrough Art Gallery, Middlesbrough, among others. She currently teaches at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore.

Spanning the fields of design and art practice, Glenn Shrum's work with light places him at the center of converging professional disciplines. A member of the faculty at the Maryland Institute College of Art since 2001, Glenn Shrum has received numerous awards for his work in lighting design, exhibition design, furniture design, interiors, sculpture, and architecture. Originally trained as an architect at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Shrum completed a Masters of Fine Art in Studio Art with an emphasis on light-space installations and history at Maryland Institute College of Art in 2008. Shrum's interest in the junction of art and design led him to establish Flux Studio, a multi-disciplinary design practice in 2006. Recent Flux Studio projects include the Legg Mason Worldwide Offices with Gensler, the Gateway building at MICA, Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, and the National Aquarium.
