'You are me', Peter Coffin at Andrew Kreps Gallery until 26 April

Exhibition Description:

This is Peter Coffin's third solo exhibition with the gallery. Coffin's work playfully suggests that our inability to explain phenomena is perhaps more liberating than restrictive. The exhibition includes a kinetic sculpture/installation, a video wall, sound works, and a suite of prints on display in the gallery's front office. The back room of the gallery contains a video wall of 30 monitors each displaying separate video montages of animals at play. As the gallery staff type they generate Incidental Music, each key-stroke producing a musical note in real time that can be heard just outside the gallery. There are also a suite of prints, original works that invoke iconic advertisements called "show prints" which consist of a tri-colored gradient of fantastic colors, a ubiquitous medium for promoting rock concerts, touring carnivals and the like. At the center of the main gallery is a large, industrial conveyor that carries a cluster of balloons through the gallery space. Balloons will be carried to the street at the end of each day and released. (Visitors are invited to participate in this activity and may inquire with the gallery to do so.)
