THE PEDESTRIAN PROJECT

The Pedestrian Project consists of several performers wearing entirely black custom-made costumes modeled after the generic images of men, women, and children seen on public signs. Mimicking the lives of everyday people, the roaming sculptural forms inspire the imaginations of onlookers, who often find themselves mesmerized as these familiar icons assume busy lives of their own.

BRIAN GOGGIN DOES SAN FRAN (DEFENESTRATION)

Called “Defenestration” (a word literally meaning “to throw out of a window”), this installation by Brian Goggin was created with the help of over 100 volunteers at the corner of Sixth and Howard Streets in San Francisco, in an abandoned four-story tenement building. Reflecting the harsh experience of many members of the community, the furniture is also of the streets, cast-off and unappreciated.

“I wanted to get art out of the gallery and out of the museum,” said, Brian Goggin. “I’m interested in working with absurdity in ways that are compelling and entertaining.“

BOB TUREK DOES MUSIC

Here’s something for the weekend… Bob Turek, currently studying at Cranbrook Academy of Art, creates some amazing “sculptures.” Read more on his profile page. There’s little doubt that Mr.Turek would make a fortune if he would mass produce & sell these creations. Who wouldn’t want a full sized headless maniquinn, blasting House music from it’s nipple-speakers, adoring one’s living quarters?

MONTREAL’S SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL

Sympathy For The Devil: Art And Rock And Roll Since 1967 is an art exhibit by Chicago-based curator Dominic Molon. It’s making its only Canadian stop at the Montreal Contemporary Arts Museum (MACM) until Jan. 11. We were in Montreal & got a chance to check it out over the weekend. From Andy Warhol’s Screen Test films to DJ Jim Lambie’s sculptural works & much, much more, this exhibition traces the aural and visual path of art and rock music.

WHERE THE HEART IS

(Rendering courtesty of the Madison Square Park Conservancy.)

Coming to Madison Square Park… Your heartbeat brought to life by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s Pulse Park light installation. The interactive event will be on view from October 24 to Nov 17. The installation will use the vital signs of spectators, measured by two heart rate sensing sculptures installed at each opposite ends of the park.
