Peter Coffin was born in Berkeley, California in 1972

Peter Coffin was born in Berkeley, California in 1972. His work is concerned with conceptual point of view and motivated by curiosity and the desire to connect with the kind of understanding that seems out of reach or which simply engenders further inquiry. A recent solo exhibition of his work was mounted at le Confort Moderne Museum in Poitier, France where visitors could walk among silhouettes of art historically iconic sculptures in flight, play music to plants in a greenhouse, and in a projection room experience the synesthesia of color and sound. Coffin has had solo exhibitions at Herald St, London, Andrew Kreps Gallery, New York, The Wrong Gallery, New York, the Palais de Tokyo, Paris, and well as recent group exhibitions at the Tate Modern, London, Migros Museum f黵 Gegenwartskunst, Zurich, and P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in NY. Coffin currently lives and works in New York City.

Coffin's work encourages the viewer to negotiate alternative modes of consciousness and acknowledge the subjectivity of science. The centerpiece of the exhibition is a greenhouse installed inside the gallery as a performance space in which musicians and sound artists communicate with plants. In this work, no attempt is made to validate the evidence that already exists to support the phenomenon that plants respond to music. Rather the performers are there simply to engage intuitively with the plants.A calendar at the entrance of the gallery lists scheduled performances. A soundtrack designed for the plants' enjoyment plays when performers are not interacting directly with the installation. Around the gallery are a series of portraits, unframed photographs of auras, resting on shelves like specimens displayed in a laboratory. The photographs are taken with a specialized Polaroid camera developed to capture auric color fields.The subjects of the auras have been removed so that only the color fields that comprise the auras remain. These photographs give substance to that which is normally invisible. Lining the walls behind the aura photographs is a red marker drawing that resembles a flow chart. The drawing was made in the spirit of automatic drawing as a sub-conscious channel. Like the aura photographs, the wall drawing also gives substance to the invisible, in this case telepathy itself.
