For this Madison Square Park public-art project, the collaborative pair of deconstructive filmmakers goes back to the optical beginnings of the medium, installing a walk-in camera obscura on the greensward. Inside this darkened room, viewers will see the surrounding trees and buildings projected upside down; upending the experience of the everyday by making the familiar seem strange.
This time of year sees the arrival of a bunch of spring art fairs in March, the biggest of which is the Armory Show, and the interloper outlier Frieze superfair in May. There’s plenty in store at MoMA with two blockbuster exhibitions on Bill Brandt and Claes Oldenburg, and Paul McCarthy takes over Hauser & Wirth’s uptown gallery and expansive Chelsea location. Plus, find out what Mad. Sq. Art has in store once Buckyball finishes.
