Final day! Don’t miss Robert Gober: The Heart Is Not a Metaphor. Several leg sculptures are on view in the exhibition. Gober became interested in the image after his mother, a nurse, told him about being handed a severed leg during an operation.

'tears becomes...streams become'

“How many times have you cried in your life? How much fluid have you given to the world?  Every day, every week, every month… A field of water.

A field is endless – it goes on, and on, and on, and on. And as the water collects, the space it inhabits will never be the same again.” —Douglas Gordon

The most captivating installation of 2014 -- 'tears become...streams become' by Turner Prize-winning artist Douglas Gordon at The Park Avenue Armory, with piano performances by Hélène Grimaud.

DANIEL ARSHAM: Artist to Watch in 2015

[ danielarsham ] 

'I make Architecture do things that it's not supposed to do.' 

From his co-founding of Snarkitecture in 2007 to his 2014 London debut at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery to his collaborative projects with Pharrell Williams and James Franco to his recent installation 'Welcome to the Future' in Miami at locustprojects [during Art Basel Miami Beach, of course], Daniel Arsham is taking the art world by storm. Perhaps Arsham didn't make Artsy's list of 15 Artists to Watch in 2015, but he sure makes mine. Arsham bridges the gap between artist, architect, performer & videographer. “I’m interested in architectural transformation,” says the artist. “How can I use the things that architecture is already made out of and make them different?” 

Although Arsham already has a good deal of accomplishments under his belt, I am certain we can only expect [even] bigger, better & bolder projects from him in the future.
