“The Time Traveler’s Laboratory: 1901” Installation by Jason Brammer

Jason exhibited several brand new original paintings as part of an installation titled “The Time Traveler’s Laboratory: 1901” for the 2008 “The Artist Project” show.

Location: “The Artist Project” Exhibition, Merchandise Mart, Chicago, IL

Dates: December 4 -7, 2008

Details: For this installation, Jason first painted a 30 foot white wall to look like a rusted, aging metal backdrop, airbrushing in all the rust stains. Original paintings, which included brand new pieces from his “Time Machine” series and new works on paper, were hung on the wall. The gold tubes connecting the pieces were actually wooden strips that Jason painted to look three-dimensional. He also placed antique hardware and tools throughout the installation to create a sense of a working laboratory that had been abandoned.
