ACF RECOMMENDS DREAM SHOP: A PHOTO-REALISTIC ROOM INSTALLATION BY LIES MACULAN TUESDAY MAR 02 - TUESDAY MAR 30 |
Austrian artist Lies Maculan, known for her intriguing, life -sized photography, will present a unique “pop-up” art installation at 30 West 21st Street throughout March 2010.
Aptly named the “The Dream Shop,” the photo-realistic room installation will house over one hundred dreams, desires and wishes that have been objectified and placed in wooden shelves. This large-scale installation occupies an entire room as an integral whole but also can be broken down shelf by shelf. The deliberate arrangement of objects relative to one another and the printing of the photographs in the subjects’ original size give the installation a three dimensionality while the below eye-level perspective imparts a surrealistic experience. Maculan has taken a 3-dimensional subject, reduced it to a 2-dimensional medium and reproduced another 3 dimensional reality.
TUESDAY - SUNDAY | 3 - 11PM
