Quite possibley one of the nicest thing seen so far this year is Brooklyn based, Chilean artist,Iván Navarro's Installation at the Paul Kasmin gallery in New York. They are collection of neon light wall sculptures that are built from the floor plans of twelve of the world's most iconic skyscrapers, including the flatiron building
in new york and the jumeirah emirates towers in dubai. chosen not only for their ambitious innovations in engineering and design, but also for their historical relevance and influence, the series features western-style structures that range in scale and span the world.
Through a positioned play of mirrors and light, viewers have the experience of looking up into the interior volumes and contours of each building. suspended within each piece is a simple phrase - such as surrender or abandon - which echo,
like subtle commands through the illusory depth of each object.
Go see it if you're in New York - it's on until April 2nd.
