I'm not entirely sure how or if the these are made differently from the sea paintings but I still want to eat them.

Kirsten Pieroth

Conservation Piece, 2010

dimensions variable

30 jars, liquids of boiled newspapers (month of September 2010 of the New York Times)

I've gotta say, the Independent Art Fair blew the Armory out of the water. Fell pretty hard in love with some new work, Kirsten Pieroth included.

Jason Dodge, A permanent open window, 2013. Installation.

If you find yourself in Italy this Sunday, May 5, check out the opening of a permanent installation by Jason Dodge at Collozione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia.

“Realized in what was once the tower of a factory’s electrical power plant, the work consists of three elements: a permanently opened window at the summit of the tower (as an appropriation of everything that appertains to the air), two cedarwood doors sequentially in line with one another (as a double threshold for a possible passage of bodies made of air), and a sculpture titled Alphabet.

The elements that constitute this triptych supplant the high-voltage cables that once criss-crossed the tower, and they link with one another to construe a new and different order of space, no less than a new and different mode of perception.”

The artist will be in conversation with poet Matthew Dickman on May 5 at 11am.

Reflection, 2012

Listen to the audio.

Reflection matches a series of electro-mechanical bells with a set of distinct, corresponding speakers. Each speaker plays back a reversed recording of a bell, and at the exact moment that the recording ends, the actual bell strikes.

More great work on his website.

I first heard about his piece when my friend Jono described it to me. In my head it played out much differently. The bells were hearty choir bells and there was something a little more ominous happening. Regardless, it's still pretty great.
