Sixty four days to completion! Shall I continue daily or go to OGT WEEKLY?
Yesterday I had a long lunch break from a day of teaching at NYU and took a stroll down the Bowery to The New Museum.
There I saw an interesting show about gender: TRIGGER: Gender as Tool and Weapon.
I also discovered their new south galleries where I saw the work of Petrit Halilaj a native of Kosovo who created a narrative installation around the unearthing and loss of ancient pot shards, arrowheads and other artifacts that could tell the story of pre-historic Serbo-Croatian peoples. Due to war and incompetence many of these artifacts were just thrown away thus erasing pieces of a past for this war ravaged country which is already fragmented in narrative history.
Halilaj reimagines the artifacts as pot shaped ceramic birds which are transient and ephemeral like the memory and existence of history and artifacts which prove its existence.
Poetic moving work accompanied by a complex video installation which mimics the complexity of storytelling.
