Creative Time’s Square
Thursday, June 17th, 2010
Giving us a break in variation from the excessive, sometimes nausiating, dome of advertisment in New York’s Times Square, Creative Time has provided us with a thoughtful exhibit.
AT 44 1/2 Creative time presents video art on the HD screen in Times Square: “From June 15–July 15, Creative Time will present one video each by emerging artists Rob Carter, Graeme Patterson, and Allison Schulnik. The artists freshly mine the possibilities of stop-motion animation, which has been used in filmmaking for over a century. By constructing detailed microcosms of paper and clay, the artists in this series transport us into the kinetic worlds of a city experiencing exponential growth, a discrete memory of youthful contention, and a strange, alien planet. Simultaneously, the analog—and extremely time- and labor-intensive—process by which these worlds are rendered comes into stark contrast with the overwhelmingly digital landscape of Times Square.”
