JOSÉ PARLÁ – SEGMENTED REALITIES
2015-07-27The Standard, High Line hotel in New York unveils a new large-scale sculptural installation from the internationally celebrated artist, José Parlá. “Segmented Realities” will be the Brooklyn based artist’s first outdoor installation in the city, and will be located in the hotel’s Plaza space, accessible to the public.
José Parlá: “Segmented Realities” is a new work consisting of three sculptural paintings designed to look like salvaged wall fragments from cultural urban sites where social upheaval has instigated profound transformation. The installation references specific events and places experienced over the course of Parlá’s life. Each brightly colored installation piece varies in dimension and is the result of a combination of the artist’s very physical engagement with materials in his work. The sculptures represent fragments of walls in Havana, Miami and San Juan.
