spring break plans

i’m getting antsy for spring break.

two of my best friends and i are road trip-ing to new jersey/new york city for the week. so, with that in mind, here are three galleries we’ll be headed to (hopefully) while we’re in the oh-so-fantastic, densely-populated neighborhood.

1) bitforms (chelsea)

rust mirror

the work of interactive artist daniel rozin (check out all his work (which is all awesome) here) is on display at bitforms through march 20. using tiles or slats of different substances (mirrors, wood, polished steel, etc.), video cameras, motors and control electronics, rozin’s most recent work captures an image of what’s in front of it and remakes it using motion and light.

2) new museum (soho)

no matter when we go, the new museum is bound to have loads and loads of awesome stuff. BUT, starting on march 3, “the imaginary museum: dakis joannou collection” will be open. featuring 1500 works by 400 artists, the collection IS CURATED BY JEFF KOONS for the new museum. which makes me squeal just thinking about it.

3) the kitchen (chelsea)

if we make it to the city in time, we’ll be headed here saturday night to see david neumann and the advanced beginner group perform “big eater.” (you can find the description for the performance here). here’s a video from neumann from a while ago:

while it’s not necessarily related to interactivity or new media, i think this will be a stellar look at another one of the many mediums that can be used to express even the most mundane happenings and emotions.
