‘The Pipe and The Flow’ exhibit

From November 18 until January 8, 2011 you can see The pipe and the flow, an exhibit curated by Omar Lopez-Chaoud which tries to deepen our understanding of the analogy which gives the exhibit its title. Via art, it studies the similarities that can be found in different things, looking for parallels between different organisms, practices and expressions. The exhibit features the participation of international artists like  Olivier Babin, Eduardo Basualdo, Jonathan Ehrenberg, Franklin Evans, Tommy Hartung, Jamie Isenstein, Marepe, Suzanne McClelland, Sam Moyer and LaToya Ruby Frazier.

Oliver Babin presents the work “Hail” a paper bag rubbed with graphite giving it a black color which is hung from the ceiling with fishing line. Eduardo Basualdo surprises us with a sculpture and a collection of drawings, in which we can appreciate the distance between two people trying to occupy the same place.

Jonathan Ehrenberg shows the video “seed,” which features a man slowly being transformed into a tree. Franklin Evans with “Floornotes” is a ground based installation which allows the public to walk over it. Tommy Hartung will show a video called “Stay Gold Ponyboy” based on the Francis Ford Coppola film “The Outsiders.” Jamie Isenstein´s installation is based on a 365 page book set over a base, which thanks to a UV lamp changes color with the light. The assembly called “Genesis” from Marepe uses a fishing net, plastics and bottles.
