ROBERT MUNN & SARA COOK founders of The Depthography Group, have been creating and
exhibiting three-dimensional and animated lenticular artworks for over 17 years.
\"Exhibition Ultradelic\" presents a body of work
that is a departure from the themes of their previous shows at The Proposition
Gallery. This show presents three aspects of their work. The first explores the
impact of extreme dimensional effect on abstract form and texture, ... utilizing
depth itself as an abstract element, sometimes in audacious disconnect with
conventional perception. \"We set out to destroy the \"novelty\" aspect of the medium
and replace it with an uncomprimizing direct assault on that prevailing perseption.
We wanted to present the viewer with an experience that would be refreshingly and
provocatively new\" says Robert Munn. The second presents complex psychedelic
animating art as a fully interactive experience. \"This medium possesses unique
qualities in conveying symbolism on a subliminal level\" says Sara Cook. The third
presents a collection of music performance images and album art as depth enhanced
iconography.

As the Depthography Group, Mr. Munn and Miss Cook have produced innovative and
unusual works in stereo photographic projection and three-dimensional film
presentation,in 1990 they became immersed in the study, analysis, research and
creation of lenticular images and over many years, the pair had devised innovative
methods and procedures advancing the lenticular medium itself. In 1992 they
founded the Virtual Image Gallery, the world\'s first gallery devoted solely to
lenticular art. Soon after in 1993 the pair worked with the noted Swiss artist H.R.
Giger on a collaborative effort that was part of his \"Watch Abart \'93\" show,
opening in New York and Geneva simultaneously. As \"the Depthography Group\" their
work has been exhibited throughout the world. Their previous shows at the
Proposition Gallery in 2002/3 and 2004/5. were well received, the latter show
prompting numerous exhibits at The Deutsche Bank gallery in midtown Manhattan as
well as a commission from the Tandy corporation to create 3 large lenticular images
to provide an artistic focal point to the reception area of their world headquarters
Building in Ft.Worth, Texas.

Ellen Donahue & Ronald Sosinski present \"Exhibition Ultradelic\", the works of New
York artists Robert Munn and Sara Cook. The show is open to the public and opens
Saturday December 1, 6-8 pm at The Proposition Gallery, 559 w 22 ST. It can be seen
