Bellwether plans Thursday opening for show by Los Angeles artist Andrea Longacre-White in St. Clair Superior

A 1903 Carnegie Library that formerly house a community center in the St. Clair Superior neighborhood will be the setting for an innovative, three-week art installation by a rising Los Angeles artist opening with a reception Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The exhibition will focus on two bodies of work by Andrea Longacre-White.

One will be an encore presentation of an installation previously shown at a gallery in New Yorks Chelsea District, in which the artist scanned images of individual sheets of the crumpled silver ceiling paper used in commercial interiors in Los Angeles, and then assembled the photos on a wall to create a disorienting, 18-foot-high vertical mural of a horizontal ceiling in all its crumpled and shiny glory.

In the second body of work, Longacre-White will install a debut selection of new images of computer scans taken from the screen of a computer pad. The artist augmented the resulting visual feedback patterns in the scanned images by running the printed sheets through a digital printer numerous times to create even more complex, abstract patterns.

Its sort of like these wild unruly confused images, she said in a telephone interview.

The Longacre-White exhibition will take place at the former Goodrich Gannett Neighborhood Center, 1368 East 55th St., in Cleveland.

The show is a project of Bellwether, an outreach arm of the Cleveland Museum of Arts Contemporary Art Society, an auxiliary group of museum supporters. Lisa Kurzner, a curatorial researcher at the museum, organized the exhibition in collaboration with Various Small Fires, a Los Angeles gallery.

Longacre-White, 33, a native of Radnor, Pa., will speak during the opening reception for her show on Thursday at 6:30 p.m.

Im so excited, she said. I think the project theyre doing through Bellwether is really smart, really great. Its really new work for me and to be able to show that is really exciting.
