Shimon Attie (CRF 2010) has re-mounted an immersive multi-media installation, now at Jack Shainman Gallery/The School in Kinderhook, NY.
“Lost in Space” opens this coming Sunday, May 20, and runs through October 6. The gallery will be providing 2-way transportation from New York City this Sunday for the opening, but seats must be reserved in advance.
The artwork, Lost in Space (After Huck) combines cast resin sculpture w/a multi-channel video and sound environment to create an immersive Installation. For Lost in Space, Attie drew inspiration from the St. Louis Art Museum’s proximity both to the Mississippi River and to Ferguson, MO. The artwork conflates Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn – in part an allegory on 19th century American race relations- with present-day first responder/community relations.
