“Field” LED Installation at MoMA

Filed under: Art — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — vc @ 5:14 pm February 5, 2012

We’re sitting on a leather-upholstered bench in a small gallery tucked behind a little-used second-floor elevator bank in MoMA and basking in the glow of artist Leo Villareal’s LED artwork “Field.” It’s the most wonderful thing we’ve seen in weeks.

Nous sommes assis sur un banc rembourrés en cuir dans une petite galerie au MoMA (Museum of Modern Art). La petite galerie est situé derrière un peu utilisé au deuxième étage couloir ascenseurs. Nous sommes auréolé de la lumière émanant de l’artiste Leo Villareal illustration LED «champs». C’est la chose la plus merveilleuse que nous avons vu au cours des semaines.

我々は、MoMA(ニューヨーク近代美術館)の小さなギャラリーで革張りのベンチに座っている。小さなギャラリーはほとんど使われていない二階のエレベーターの廊下の後ろに位置しています。我々は芸術家レオビジャレアルのLED作品から発せられる光から輝きを浴びている “フィールド”それは我々が数週間で見た中で最も素晴らしいことだ。

We’re cleaning out the closet at Global Graphica HQ to make room some new gear. So we’re parting with yet more beloved graphic tees and documenting them with a short series of pix and posts.

Included in the set are t-shirts designed by Paul Smith (below), We are the Superlative Conspiracy (WESC), Build by Wendy, and Icelandic artist Jón Sæmundur, who hand-prints his “bird” images onto American Apparel tees at his Reykjavik studio called Dead Gallery/Studio.

The Paul Smith shirt pictured below is one we bought in Kyoto, Japan in 2009.

A live-blog post via our iPhone from the closing day of the “Icy Signs” show .. The exhibition features the artwork of ESPO (Steven Powers), Reas and others and was part of the groundbreaking street art show curated by Jeffrey Deitch at the MoCA Geffen in Los Angeles earlier this year.

Live-Blogging from the Guggenheim

We’re at the Guggenheim Museum in New York this afternoon to cover the retrospective exhibition of artist Maurizio Cattelan, called “All.” In the coming hour, we will be live-blogging via our Apple iPhone, posting images of this landmark literally “hanging” show – Cattelan’s artworks are being suspended by ropes from the oculus atop the rotunda of the museum.
