STEVE TOBIN : STEELROOTS

Posted on 2011-05-09

Steve Tobin’s sculptures are a dramatic fusion of nature and art. Set among the Arboretum’s glowing gardens and peaceful groves, they invite you to touch, stroll through or even lie down beneath them, to discover your own unique views of the land around you, views that change with the light and the seasons.

Steve Tobin gained international acclaim in 2004 with the dramatic installation of the Trinity Root sculpture near Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan, the first and only art memorial near the 9/11 disaster site. The sculpture is a bronze casting of the stump and roots of the historic sycamore tree that saved St. Paul’s Chapel during the attack on the World Trade Center. The transcendent sculpture is permanently sited on the corner of Wall Street and Broadway where millions of visitors see it each year.

Exhibition runs through to January 31st, 2012

ART IN THE STREETS

Posted on 2011-05-09

Art in the Streets is the first major U.S. museum survey of graffiti and street art. Curated by MOCA Director Jeffrey Deitch and Associate Curators Roger Gastman and Aaron Rose, the exhibition will trace the development of graffiti and street art from the 1970s to the global movement it has become today, concentrating on key cities such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, and Sao Paulo, where a unique visual language or attitude has evolved.The exhibition will feature paintings, mixed media sculptures, and interactive installations by 50 of the most dynamic artists and will emphasize Los Angeles’s role in the evolution of graffiti and street art, with special sections dedicated to seminal local movements such as cholo graffiti and Dogtown skateboard culture. A comprehensive timeline illustrated with artwork, photos, video, and ephemera will provide a historical context for the work.

GILES PRICE : MACROSCOPIC OLYMPIAD

Posted on 2011-05-09

“Macroscopic Olympiad” is a selection of photographs from a documentary project by Giles Price, which portrays a large scale and minutely detailed aerial vision of the Olympic Park during a period of rapid construction.This visual language is only available through flight, reiterating the smallness not only of the physical being, but of the interior perspective on navigating a landscape.” Merging the landscape with group portraiture, mini-scenes with human workers intersperse amidst the machines and structures. Unlike computer models made up of composite images, the images capture the breadth of the mega-project on several compositional levels in moments of real time, by offering an alternate vision of the Olympic construction process.

Exhibition runs from May 19th to June 18th, 2011
