Tabaimo at 601Artspace, Curated by Susan Sollins
|
Now on view at 601Artspace in New York City is an exhibition of works by Japanese artist Tabaimo curated by Art21 Executive Director Susan Sollins.
The exhibition includes a large-scale video installation, dolefullhouse (2007), along with a selection of drawings from her Tawamushi (2008) series.
Utilizing sophisticated computer animation technology, thousands of drawings, and a palette that refers to the tradition of Japanese woodblock prints, Tabaimo's video installations, including dolefullhouse, are presented within and upon a constructed space that creates a sense of physical or psychological intimacy. About this work, Tabaimo says, "I want to create layers of worlds."
The exhibition is on view through July 9. Gallery hours are Tuesdays and Fridays, 2-6 p.m., or by appointment. Call 212-243-2735, email info@601artspace.org, or visit the 601Artspace Web site for more information.
