Recent (?) Installations


The other weekend the boyfriend and I made the trek out to PS1 (MoMA’s satellite space in Queens). I decide it was time to get out and see some new art. And there was some! Specifically there was a fantastic swimming pool installation entitled “Swimming Pool.” It’s by an artist, Leandro Erlich, who does a bunch of surreal and interactive installation work.


Of course, on the way to PS1 you get to walk by 5Pointz – that’s the insanely well-done graffiti building, so I snapped some pics of that as well.


Anyhow, the last installation I saw that really impressed me was last years Cai Guo-Qiang exhibit at the Guggenheim. Apparently I’m becoming more and more interested in the immediacy of installation work.

Part of a series I'm starting on falling. So far, it's just an acrylic background and a drawing on a 18 x 24 inch board. I've been meaning to do this painting forever now, and I'm really happy with where it's going.
