M+B is pleased to present Psychonaut, an exhibition and installation by artist Lisa Eisner. Eisner who is best known for her photographic explorations of the American West (publications include Shriners and Rodeo Girl) has turned her eye to nature with Psychonaut, an amalgam of the past four years of her work. In the artist’s words it is as if she “threw the photos in the air and cut them all up as they were falling down”. Psychonaut is a kaleidoscopic adventure into a vibrant world of seeming randomness, a collection of one-of-a-kind assemblages without editions and without using Photoshop that is her most personal work to date. The exhibition opens May 1, 2010 and will run through June 5, 2010, with an opening reception for the artist on Saturday, May 1 from 6 – 8 pm. Taking the title from the Greek word meaning literally, “a sailor of the mind/soul,” Psychonaut explores the journey of a spiritual seeker who uses altered states of consciousness to address spiritual questions in a modern way, without the use of psilocybin.
