Pipilotti Rist: Pixel Forest at The New Museum

December 6, 2016 by ArtJetSet

Carsten Höller: Experience at the New Museum

January 9, 2012 by ArtJetSet

Carsten Höller, scientist-come-artist, hilariously delightful exhibition at the New Museum presents the familiar in a way that challenges our preconceived notions of experience. The Mirror Carousel is strikingly beautiful but spins at an impossibly slow speed. Not only changing the expected velocity of fun but allowing the viewer to experience riding a carousel not as a joyful carnival ride by rather at a pace to savour every elongated second of the ride. Höller’s work centres around the reinterpretations of sensory experiences, specially enjoyed the Rabbit on […]

Urs Fischer at The New Museum

November 3, 2009 by ArtJetSet

A tongue in cheek… rather tongue in wall dialogue about art, society, commodity culture and how we negotiate through this in art and in contemporary life. Going back to Robert Morris’ Mirrored Cubes towards Urs Fischer’s mirrored cubes distorts the scale and the impact of these daily objects, food, and items that surround us.
