Urbis Artium Gallery is pleased to present a series of new video, =

sound, and mixed-media installations by San Francisco and New York- =

based artists Nate Pagel and Randall Heath.

Nate Pagel's multi-media installations have been shared with =

audiences both locally and internationally. Using sound and video, =

he creates immersive environments that conceptualize his explorations =

into the transient and abstract characteristics of the Paris, London, =

and Toyko public subway systems. On display will be Eiden (Tokyo), =

the third installation to complete the cycle of three distinct and =

unique works. Pagel studied painting and photography at Rice =

University in Houston, Texas before becoming exposed to computer- =

based multimedia as artwork. He most recently exhibited a screening =

in December, 2005 at the Festival Internazionale di Architettura in =

Video in Florence, Italy.

Randall Heath's Interiors use Marcel Duchamp's =C9tant Donn=E9s as a =

basis for his kinetic dioramas that are contained within small wood =

boxes. As with Duchamp's pieces, the viewer conceptually enters the =

installation through a peephole to reveal an enclosed narrative =

space. Once inside, Heath's creations exhibit fleeting images =

composed of video and sculptural elements that upon close inspection, =

unearth the conceptual space within our own interior minds. Based =

out of New York, Heath received his BFA from the University of =

Minnesota. He has most recently shown his work in the "Spiritus =

Mundi" exhibition at Lola Gallery in San Francisco.
