LIGHT YEAR 56: Limb from Limb Video Art Exhibit projected onto the Manhattan Bridge
Event Details
Thursday, December 5, 2019 | 7 - 10pm
(Immediately following the DUMBO Holiday Tree Lighting)
*****Best place to view: from the Pearl Street Triangle
Curated by: Kate Gavriel
Participating Artists: Laura Bernstein, Lizzy DeVita, Kyoung eun Kang, Maggie Hazen, Lawrence Mesich, Mariana Peragallo
The works in Limb from Limb focus on our extremities and appendages – arms, legs, hands, feet, heads, and hair. While the human experience of embodiment may bring these parts together into a unified whole, these videos highlight our physical existence as assemblages of these various pieces – exploring the humor, humility, and horror of depersonalization.
ABOUT LIGHT YEAR:
LIGHT YEAR is an ongoing project presented by 3_Search (Leo Kuelbs Collection, Glowing Bulbs and John Ensor Parker) in partnership with the DUMBO Improvement District and NYC DOT. Originally created for the Manhattan Bridge Anchorage in DUMBO, Brooklyn, in celebration of the United Nations’ declaration of 2015 as the Year of Light and Light Art, LIGHT YEAR has become an international project, with presentations in DUMBO on the First Thursday of every month, as well as in Berlin, and online. Since its launch, LIGHT YEAR has hosted the work of over 150 artists and curators from around the world.
