New York City-based artist Shaun Jarvis’ show “ACID” at FL!GHT Gallery is his first one-man show in Texas. The exhibition consists of twenty photographs printed on perforated blotter paper, which is the type of paper traditionally used to distribute the psychedelic drug L.S.D. With the recent death of the inventor of L.S.D., Albert Hofmann, Jarvis’ photographs underlie the close connections that drug counter-cultures and art share in rejecting social norms and effectively expanding worldviews. In the same manner acid-laced photos were consumed to experience altered states, the viewer is similarly asked to absorb these images and open themselves to Jarvis’ world.

The show opens on Second Saturday May 10, 2008 at 1906 South Flores in beautiful San Antonio, TX.
