AURORA
Multimedia Lighting Sculpture by Grimanesa Amorós |
|
|
Aurora is a series of Mix Media Light Sculptures. I found it’s original inspiration from the natural phenomenon of what is known as the Northern Lights. Light is one of my primary materials because it creates presence without physicality. In many occasions, it can be easily taken for granted, since much of what humans perceive comes from light, yet even that which is apparent can be mysterious. I’m always looking for the instance when light, in its changing forms, makes us contemplate and experience an ordinary circumstance in a different way. tribeca ISSEY MIYAKE is the worldwide flagship store for Issey Miyake. It houses all the Miyake collections under one roof for the first time, principally the Issey Miyake women’s and men’s collections, Issey Miyake Fete, A-POC, HaaT, Me and Pleats Please. Located in the downtown Manhattan neighbourhood from which it takes it’s name, tribeca ISSEY MIYAKE is a uniquely modern boutique, set against the backdrop of a landmark cast-iron building. A titanium sculpture by Frank Gehry winds its way through the space that doubles as a creative venue of artist collaborations, exhibitions and events. |

ATM Contemporary – 200
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009.
PROGRAMA DE JÓVENES COLECCIONISTAS…
“200” nace de una demanda que como galeristas llevamos años percibiendo. Es habitual el encontrarnos en el ejercicio de nuestra actividad con gente, habitualmente joven y realmente apasionada por la obra de nuestros artistas y que, por razones socioeconómicas obvias, no pueden acceder a la adquisición de obras de arte en las exposiciones que programamos. Obra de artistas emergentes pero aún así con precios de mercado prohibitivos para quienes una pieza suponga dos o más sueldos completos. Llevamos tiempo pensando en esto y gracias al apoyo de cada uno de los artistas que forman parte de “200” hemos hallado una fórmula que permitirá paliar esta situación.
Qué podemos encontrar en “200”? Cada uno de los artistas que forman parte del proyecto ha producido una obra específica para “200”. Esta obra, de serie ilimitada se concibe como un acercamiento al coleccionismo joven.
