SOLIVAGANT
Anne Senstad
Soft
Geometry Liquid Commodity
Nov
12 – Dec 13 2015
Opening
Nov 13 - 6-8 pm with a performance by French artist Patrice Lerochereuil at 7 pm.
54 Orchard street,
NYC, 10002
Solivagant* is pleased
to announce a solo show by New York based, Norwegian artist Anne
Senstad.
The
multi-location installation Soft Geometry-Liquid
Commodity presents a series of new geometric and text based
neon works that suggest a route running
through Solivagant* gallery space and the city block hosting it; the gallery will physically expand from its 79 sq.ft room to
the whole block between Orchard St., Hester St., Allen St. and Grand St.
Anne Senstad’s site-responsive installation aims to comment on and highlight the role of Chinatown as a cultural antecedent to New York and as one of its last bastions of authenticity. Solivagant*, as an intervening exhibition space stitched into the fabric of the local trade, investigates the value and experience of art by placing it outside of the conventional gallery context; taking it back to an informal trade space, and to its manufacturing place of origin.
Lighting
systems, neon signs and displays are largely present in Chinatown cityscape. Soft
Geometry creates a correspondence of light, shapes, text and color
between the different displays along the city block, a cartographic and
aesthetic anthropological intervention.
Liquid
Commodity reflects ideas of trade, business, service industry
and fast movement of commodities that we find in the market place and in the
neighborhood. Art exists as commodity and currency, illuminating and directing
desires to possession and consumerism. With the seduction of colors, neon
lights and the object-art, commodification and trade is demystified and
exposed.
The
exhibition at Solivagant* will be accompanied by a
number of collaborative performances in response to Senstad’s installations,
starting with performance artist Patrice Lerochereuil culminating
in saxophonist Ilhan Ersahin’s site responsive sound performance for the
closing event on December 12th. French-American artist Patrice Lerochereuil's (b. 1957) practice is particulary close in spirit to the 60's fluxus movement. He is co-curator of "Blago Bung", an international performing night in New York and Zurich. Musician, composer and producer Ilan Ersahin is founder of Nublu in New York and Istanbul amongst numerous other projects internationally.
Anne Senstad works in the
multidisciplinary intersections of installation art, photography, video, site
specificity and land art. Her work is concerned with sensorial aesthetics,
perceptive and transformative ideas of art and philosophical practice and
social-political awareness. She has exhibited widely internationally, chiefly at
the 55th and 56th Venice Biennale, The Bruges Art and
Architecture Triennale 2015, Zendai
Moma, Shanghai, Abu Dhabi Art Hub, ISEA Dubai, UAE in 2014 as well as in numerous
private galleries, festivals and institutions.
Solivagant* is an Art Project Space
measuring exactly 79sq.ft, located in the heart of New York CIty's Lower East
Side. As a platform for experimentation and contemporary practices, it invites
artists to work site-specifically, through public interactions, community
involvement, installations and performances. Cultural Nomadism, contamination
of productions and hybridism of ideas are the fundamentals of Solivagant*’s projects.
Artworks are
on view daily from 9am to 7pm through the Gallery’s window. Gallery space opens by appointment
and during performances. Documentation of exhibitions can be accessed 24/7
online at solivagantnyc.com.

Partial curatorial text: Bruges Contemporary Art and Architecture Triennial 2015 Bruges as a megapolis 20 May – 18 October 2015 Every year, over five million people visit Bruges. What if they all decided to stay? What would it mean for a preserved, historic city like Bruges to become an overnight megapolis? This is the premise for the Bruges Contemporary Art and Architecture Triennial 2015, a major event on the arts calendar. Eighteen international artists create new works that form an art trail through the city centre. These works reflect on the future and the creative potential of the city, on urbanisation, citizenship, lifestyle, community, finance and economics. Three indoor exhibitions form the opportunity to further explore and contextualise these topics. Bruges is transformed into URB EGG: the Triennial cracks the egg of Bruges in order to reinvent the city from the inside out.
