Franz Erhard Walther at The Powerplant

September 5, 2016 by ArtJetSet

Franz Erhard Walther’s sculptural work at The Powerplant explores the relationship of the viewer, their body, space, and the intimacy of interactions between. The room is piled with 58 precisely folded packages of cotton fabric.  The sculptures only materialize once ‘activated’ by the viewers. There is a meditative quality to the unrolling / folding of the fabric.  Once activated and inside the material you feel enveloped in a strange sense of quiet and focus of the intimate space you are occupying.

Philippe Parreno – H {N)Y P N(Y} OSIS

July 24, 2015 by ArtJetSet

Sounds, lights, noise and film, Philippe Parreno fills the Park Avenue Armory with a visceral experience. At different stages the lights would dim, certain sculptures would flash, others would chime.  The piano keys would magically move and dance on their own with no music to accompany the phantom performer.

Future Cinema, a British film screening company, hosted a 60s Mod happening at the Shangri-la Studio in Greenpoint Brooklyn. Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow Up was screened, a film about a blasé fashion photographer in 1960s London, rifed with the ennui of his fashion fame, driven by a tortured artistic passion.

YLVA OGLAND & SNÖFRID performance for PERFORMA

November 9, 2009 by ArtJetSet

The Swiss Institute New York hosted a performance by Ylva Ogland, where she distills campaign boiled with rubies to invoke her twin alterego SNÖFRID that lives in mirrors. An elegy to Snowwhite, the rubies are an element to inspire lust and lustfulness in the 165 proof vodka that is the bi-product of the beautiful heating and cooling distillation process. Traced on the floor were ghostly white chalk drawings of all the elements and objects used in the distillation process.
