In conjunction with The Crucible, K Gallery presents Radiance at the Rhythmix Cultural Works. The show features works, most of which have lighting of some kind involved.
I
was interested to see the show as years ago, in 2007, I had done a
photo shoot for plasma artist, Michael Pargette for his online website
which i just discovered has since disappeared. I'll do an blog on his
work.

Rob Neiring received his BFA from the University of Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
in Inter-arts that included theatre, dance and sculpture. After
professionally dancing for seventeen years and eighteen years in the
candy business he dropped everything to come take a class at The Crucible.
His definition of sculpture is, “Something you back into when looking
at a painting,” he tries to incorporate his audience with more than just
the sense of sight. He currently works at The Crucible as the Director of Program Operations.

says, “I am a Bay Area artist who works with found objects. My heart
and soul is fundamentally connected to objects that have been handled or
created by human beings. My work often includes a story.”
