The converted schoolhouse in <em>NoLita</em> is the first curator-driven art fair of its kind, and what the NY Times has called <em>“bringing the art back downtown”</em>.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Grace’s beautiful flower installation entitled <em>“Ina (Mother)”</em>, levitated and twisted like a powerful, colorful sci-fi serpent, bending towards the viewers and her miniature rock sculptures. It was included on the 3rd floor as part of up&coming curator <a href="http://amateurartcriticnyc.blogspot.com/">Amanda Schmitt’</a>s <em>“Till Dust gathers on grass”.</em>  It left an impression with many visitors, fashion/art blogs and consequently might soon grace us - ;) - at an art space in Europe. This time we would love to see her flower work and photography in Berlin. You can check more of her work <a href="http://gracevillamil.com/">here</a>.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>(via <a href="http://gracevillamil.com/">gracevillamil</a>)<br/></span></p> </blockquote>http://installationaday.tumblr.com/post/19510990419http://installationaday.tumblr.com/post/19510990419Sun, 18 Mar 2012 10:00:05 -0400<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/38489898" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>CHROME (live), 2012</p> <p>””“</p> <p>2010 - 2012,130x75cm, prints 46x57cm<br/> Dye on filter paper, water, webcam, laptop, table, loudspeakers<br/><br/> ‘CHROME (live)’ is an installation that includes prints on filter paper, water, a webcam and complex colour analysis to create an extensive, yet still live performance. The work utilises the simple physical process colour chromatography, digital colour conversion and real-time sound generation to turn an edition of seemingly similar prints into individual artefacts. <br/><br/> Prints of black dots are soaked in water over an extended period of time. Slowly, the prints diffuse into their constituent parts creating brilliantly colourful new images.<br/> The process is monitored by a web camera and is synthesized through a code, which converts the printed and diffused images into RGB values. According to the results of a complex colour analysis, three sine waves shape a chord and a continuous sound environment. <br/><br/> The process can take up to 12 hours for one print.<br/><br/> CHROME (live) is both a development process and tool. Since the first start of this work in 2010, the artists have shown it as an installation in different formats and conducted workshops with textile students, designers and media artists. <br/> This current installation has been co-developed by the architect Maik Ronz and software developer Eric Brotto. During the development of CHROME, we have been kindly supported by The London Printworks Trust, Bergen National Academy of Arts, Culture Lab Newcastle and Bergen Centre of Electronic Arts.</p> <p>””“</p>http://installationaday.tumblr.com/post/19450655871http://installationaday.tumblr.com/post/19450655871Sat, 17 Mar 2012 10:00:06 -0400<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/38489043" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Daydrunk</p> <p>””“</p> <p>Title: Daydrunk<br/> Medium: Custom software, 16-channel audio<br/> Dimensions: variable<br/> Year completed: 2009<br/> Description: The 45 automatons in ‘Daydrunk’ create an intermittent chorus of music and monologue.

Based on thousands of photographs taken over the course of the construction of the new hall and images of local architecture, the dynamic digital mural shifts between the recognizable and the abstract, animating and creating new forms on the building’s nighttime façade. <br/><br/> The mural is punctuated by hourly videographic events marking the top of each hour, and achieved by altering aspects of the work’s choreography - detail, pacing, palette, rhythm, geometry, and pattern. Custom-written software not only creates periodic cycles, but also generates an ever-changing visual experience over time for new and repeat visitors, regardless of the time, the day, or the season.<br/><br/> The Chronograph wall features 365 compositions and has been presented on New World Symphony’s façade from dusk to midnight since January 2011.</p> <p>””“</p>http://installationaday.tumblr.com/post/19234905921http://installationaday.tumblr.com/post/19234905921Tue, 13 Mar 2012 10:00:06 -0400<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/37599185" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>””“</p> <p>The Getty Center<br/><br/> This major new site-specific commission by Hirokazu Kosaka kicks off the Pacific Standard Time Performance and Public Art Festival and transforms the Getty Center’s Arrival Plaza into a sculptural and performative installation with an enormous spotlight, dancers, and hundreds of spools of colorful thread. In Sanskrit, kalpa means eon—a long period of time. Once every hundred years, an angel comes down from heaven and swipes the surface of a stone with her silk sleeves until the rock disappears.

This installation, Intersection, concentrates on the stop and go of the midtown traffic outside the gallery, focusing on the pulse and energy of the city. A hanging string column cycles between stillness and movement, while real time video sonograms and spectrograms are projected on to the gallery walls making the sound of the intersection visual.<br/><br/> Pat Badt and Scott Sherk have collaborated on several site-specific installations, shown at Katonah Museum of Art, the Kim Foster Gallery, Point, Line, Lafayette College, Marshall University and Martial Arts Center, Memphis. Pat Badt is a painter and a Professor of Art at Cedar Crest College. Scott Sherk is sculptor who often works with sound. He most recently completed a sound project for the Katonah Museum of Art and is a Professor of Art at Muhlenberg College.

The works range from single boards to multiples carrying illustrative and text-based commentaries on their chosen site and surrounds.<br/><br/> In the case of this piece the site is the by now defunct, and much maligned, State Cinema on Great Junction Street, Leith. I have long admired this building’s façade as one of only a handful of examples of art deco architecture throughout the city.<br/><br/> The image of the girl was taken from an Escher woodcut (Girl With Flower) of the same period as the building (1930). At the core of this original work is a wistfulness and suggestion of transience, marked by the innocence of youth. She is shown in the height of fashion of the day, with bobbed hair and a geometric patterned dress akin to the avant-garde textiles of Sonia Delauney. The piece is contemplative in nature, with the underlying subtext of youth, beauty, longevity and mortality, symbolised through the use of a Spring flower.<br/><br/> I replaced the flower for a Saltire to have this wistful deco girl contemplate an idea, re-directing the viewer toward issues of national identity, whilst retaining the original idiom of transience through the choice of contemporaneous decaying venue.<br/><br/> Again, true to the original this work is a woodcut. Albeit scaled up by around 200%, the girl is cut from a single standard metric sheet of oak veneered 18mm MDF 2440mm x 1220mm. She is made entirely of vertical cuts (other than the flag) scored into the face of the board with an angle-grinder.<br/><br/> If the work were to be inked up you could take a print from her in the same manner as the original.<br/><br/> A Thoroughly Modern Girl has been exhibited at The Old Ambulance Depot, Edinburgh (2011) and recently she was successfully installed in her rightful home on Great Junction Street, in collaboration with National Collective.Click here to watch a short film of the installation.<br/><br/> She will be making a cameo appearance in my upcoming solo show “Out of Line”, as well as guest public appearances throughout the coming year in the cities of Scotland.</p> <p>””“</p>http://installationaday.tumblr.com/post/18437956114http://installationaday.tumblr.com/post/18437956114Tue, 28 Feb 2012 10:04:06 -0500
