Reading like a 3-D map of Hannibal Lecter’s mind or possibly a allegory for the entire contemporary art world, David Altmejd creates a beautiful installation titled: The Flux and the Puddle at the Andrea Rosen Gallery in New York. Having seen this show in person I can assure you that never has plexiglass been so interesting….

“For 20 years now, New York-based photographer Spencer Tunick has been creating human art installations all over the world, calling together volunteers by the hundreds or thousands, asking them to remove their clothes, and photographing them in massive groups. His philosophy is that “individuals en masse, without their clothing, grouped together, metamorphose into a new shape.” He aims to create an architecture of flesh, where the masses of human bodies blend with the landscape, or juxtapose with architecture. Collected here are images from several of his installations as they were being composed”.

James Turrell has been working with light for over 20 years. His Rodan Crater Project has been called America’s Sistine Chapel. To fund it he also makes what he was originally known for: Light Installations of exquisite and ethereal beauty. Legend has it that his installation at the Stedelijk Museum dropped people to their knees. Unfortunately you will not be seeing them at Pace but if you head over to PS1 he has a permanent installation you can spend all day with.
