Contemporary Art: Search History @ The Hole New York

(Drivebycuriosity) - Some galleries have funny names. "The Hole" on Manhattan`s popular entertainment mile Bowery (312 Bowery, New York  theholenyc) seems to specialize in experimental art. They have frequently interesting shows (I have reported about this gallery before  here  here).

Recently I saw an exhibition with works by Australian artist Ry David Bradley (bradley). The press release states: "For his sophomore effort, Bradley transforms the gallery into a CYC studio and hangs eight digitally-conceived classical tapestries. The exhibition is lit by searching LED spotlights selectively revealing and distracting from the artworks as they hunt around the room".



The press release continues: "The imagery Bradley weaves together with custom digital brushes mixes ancient art with futuristic compositions only possible from a digital platform. The idea of a search history being someone’s digital fingerprint, a unique bread crumb trail through an infinite image forest is suggested by the searching lights trying to track them around the room".
