Ether
a show dealing with the concepts of space; both figurative and literal explorations by local Reno artists. Not just a show about space ships- it's about the interaction with the existence of the intangible.

Ether
3. the upper regions of space; the clear sky; the heavens.
4. the medium supposed by the ancients to fill the upper regions of space.
5. Physics An all-pervading, infinitely elastic, massless medium formerly postulated as the medium of propagation of electromagnetic waves.
Ethereal Space
1. light, airy, or tenuous: an ethereal world created through the poetic imagination.
2. extremely delicate or refined: ethereal beauty.
3. heavenly or celestial: gone to his ethereal home.
4. of or pertaining to the upper regions of space.
5. Chemistry. pertaining to, containing, or resembling ethyl ether.
The concept for the show was formulated out of a series of critiques given by Margo Pelletier and Lisa Thomas, the directors and producers of the documentary Silvia, who were visiting artists at the University of Nevada, Reno in February of 2007. Ms. Pelletier, after seeing a handful of student work, made the comment about how interesting it was that a lot of artwork dealt with “ethereal space” and how interesting that was both in relation to culture and this generation.
The artwork involved in the show involves different media and diverse artists. Ranging from invented photographic processes to traditional drawings, they allt question the idea of ethereal space: its bounds, depths, and dimensions.
