Landing
October 12 - October 28, 2017
Curated by Life Lessons
“Landing thus requires a particular state of mind, one where intuitions and impressions prevail, where one feels before one thinks, where one moves across and stalks around before seeking full disclosure and understanding.”
-Christophe Girot, Four Trace Concepts in Landscape Architecture
Landing, a show of ten artists and ten works, takes place in a former Catholic convent in Hell’s Kitchen. Alongside the desks, beds, and traces that the nuns left behind, these works sit in self-reflection. They contain the histories of hours spent in the studio with private thoughts, doubts, and meditations, until landing on something that needs to be pushed out into the world. They start a conversation between preconception and reality.
Each work exists alone in a bedroom. The dividing walls are buffers. Rituals and doubts are witnessed in singular devotion. The furniture reinforces the functionality of a meditative space. Take a moment with the work. Sit with it for a second. Move onto the next room at your own pace. Landing is the initial step toward understanding.
