Engine-Powered Art
Posted by Sarah

upcoming_events-greetingcard.jpgIf you're inspired by loud art with randy moves, the exhibition taking place at the Seventh Regiment Armory Conservancy in NYC is for you:

For his first ever public exhibition in NYC, Aaron Young has painted 288 panels of plywood in alternating colors of red, pink, orange and yellow fluorescent paint, finishing with an opaque coat of black paint to conceal the bright layers underneath. These boards were then laid on the massive Drill Hall floor, forming a 128x72-foot canvas. Ten motorcycle riders performed on this platform, following specific directions by Young, their synchronized movements forming a pattern of burnouts on the wood. The gestural residue of the performance remains - streaks of burned rubber, worn away layers of paint, and newly revealed neon colors. This 9,216 sq. ft. painting, inspired by the 1943 Jackson Pollock action painting, Greeting Card, is on view along with a video documenting the performance.

The show runs September 18 though September 23, 2007, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and is free and open to the public.
