Alejandra Almanza Pereda at Magnan Metz Gallery

September 28, 2010 by ArtJetSet

An amazing show with a poetic title, The Heaviest Luggage for the Traveler is the Empty One, at Magnan Metz Gallery, Pereda uses large scale sculpture set against a stunning black and white wall papered forest. Contrasting light and dark, strong and fragile, massive cinder block sculpture mirrored by ghostly pencil on paper drawings of cinder blocks – leave the viewer questioning the ideas of what we occupy and the limits of weight and space consumed around us.

Sarah Sze at Tanya Bondakar

September 23, 2010 by ArtJetSet

Sarah Sze uses bottles, cartons, found objects, and constructed objects that resemble everyday objects to build an intricately ornate installation at Tanya Bondakar Gallery. The Uncountables (Encyclopedia) is a structural labyrinth. Sze obscures the familiar by wrapping milk cartons, and whitewashing bottles. She effectively blurs the cognizance of our relationship with details of the everyday things that surround us.I really loved the abstract film created by the flickers of light reflecting off a styrofoam plate filled with water, and the […]

Jennifer Steinkamp at Lehmann Maupin

September 22, 2010 by ArtJetSet

Jennifer Steinkamp recreates nature using 3-dimension animation in her wall projections. This projection was stunning and captivating. Staring up from under a massive tree, Steinkamp skillfully recreates the passage of time through the seasons. With blooming leaves and bursts of colourful flowers — then petals rain down on the viewer as summer moves to autumn, until there are only bare tangeled branches stretched out towards you. The seamless snaking arms of the tree loop back into each other and then […]

Zilvinas Kempinas Ballroom at Yvonn Lambert

September 21, 2010 by ArtJetSet

Lithuanian installation artist Zilvinas Kempinas uses magnetic tape film, fans, reflective panes of mylar to create this cool and visually striking space. Red and Blue coloured lightbulbs hanging by their wires circle and spin around in localized confinement while noisey fans push the bulbs and the loops of magnetic tape. The experience is an overwhelming sensation of chaotic and static at the same time.

Marc Newson at Gagosian

September 20, 2010 by ArtJetSet

A brilliant showcase of Australian designer Marc Newson’s reinterpreted designs for different modes of transportation. Newson’s fluid aesthetics of design and the buoyant functionality of the machines stirs a desire for a James Bond-esque Mediterranean vacation.

Dan Colen at Gagosian

September 2, 2010 by ArtJetSet

Dan Colen is quoted as saying that this current show at Gagosian is about “failure and potential, accident and intention, most minute and most infinite.” Colen creates a transitionary space using an inverted skateboard half-pipe, and installation of knocked over customized Harley Davidson motorcycles, and massive canvases with abstract patterns painted with chewing gum. A self-reflective self-indulgent show.
