Rafaël Rozendaal and JODI part of exhibition at Buffalo AKG Art Museum

Rafaël Rozendaal and JODI are part of group exhibition 'Electric Op' at Buffalo AKG Art Museum.

Drawing on the Buffalo AKG’s leading collection of Op art—established with the museum’s ground-breaking 1965 exhibition Art Today: Kinetic and Optic—Electric Op brings together over 100 artworks by nearly ninety artists to trace the six-decade history of the enduring relationship between Op art and electronic art and culture. Dynamic paintings, sculptures, and prints by international Op artists working in the 1960s and 1970s are placed into dialogue with analog videos and computer-generated prints and films of the same period, demonstrating how Op became “Electric.” The exhibition also includes more recent contemporary artworks from the 1980s onward that embody the sensibility of “Electric Op,” including paintings, sculptures of programmed lights, and even an interactive digital game. The exhibition concludes with a presentation of vintage ephemera and other cultural artifacts; together, these show how Op art even shaped what electronic technology looks like in our popular imagination.
