Tony Martin: The Door
A founder of art installations using light, Martin has, since the 1960s, created seminal new media works. Electronic systems were the interface between the viewer and the event and process of the sculpture or installed environment. He created the electronic and optical configurations for these in his own studio, and when necessary, commissioned help from the new generation of engineers and scientists forging new ways and methods.

Ted Victoria; The Greenhouse and Other Works
This Beecher Center installation signals the return of an innovative artist to the Butler Institute. An associate professor of art at New York¹s Kean College, Ted Victoria has long been associated with installation works that combine everyday objects with reflected light. With these elements, and utilizing technologies based upon the centuries-old camera obscura, Ted Victoria creates atmospheric works that are filled with humor, emotion and insight into the human condition. A program featuring the artist is being planned. Butler members will be notified of the program.
