X-Initiative BYOA – Bring Your Own Art

February 4, 2010 by ArtJetSet

Bring Your Own Art BYOA marked the end of the X-Initiative, which was a one year long contemporary art program, housed in the former Dia Chelsea space. The 24 Hour marathon invited artists to come and hang their work with no restrictions, essentially letting the inmates run the madhouse.

X- Initiative: Phase III, Hans Haacke

November 23, 2009 by ArtJetSet

The first solo exhibition of Hans Haacke in New York since 1986, Weather or Not showcases a brilliant example of Haacke’s works and practice. This large scale kinetic installation is a beautiful example of how Haacke excels in experiential environments. With an under current in economic-political discourse of the middle east, displaying texts written in Arabic, Hebrew, English and German, this room hosted a visually captivating and meditative installation.

The first room is a series of wall mounted video screens showing Democracies, a series of 10 minute clips shot by the artist at public demonstrations around the world. At a modest volume the sound of protests and cries lull to […]

X-Initiative PoolNoodles and Projections

August 16, 2009 by ArtJetSet

The X-Initiative has taken over the former Dia:Chelsea space, and will exist for one year and present programming over three phases, featuring a lot of video and installation projections that assume the vast floor space of this massive center. British artist Tris Vonna-Michell work is an investigation in language and convoluted narratives. Visual poetry and sound art are harmonized in the way he presents stories and events through fragmented images and chaotic accelerated monologues in frantic speach. It is the […]
