Solar One to Host Eyebeam Project


Solar One is hosting part of artist Germaine Koh’s piece Fair Weather Forces for Eyebeam’s Untethered show - a sculpture garden of everyday objects deprogrammed of their original function, embedded with new intelligence, and transformed into surrealist and surprising readymades, including a photocopier that reads the night sky; a PDA turned guitar; and a piano that plays the Internet.

Koh’s project, Fair-weather forces is a series of architectonic interventions which suggest a reciprocal relationship between human behaviour and natural phenomena. Using the tidal fluctuations of the East River at the Solar One site, Koh has electronically linked the motion to a series of velvet ropes that respond to the depth of the water at the Eyebeam gallery space.

Untethered: A sculpture garden of readymades
Date: September 25 – October 25
Opening: Thurs., Sept. 25, 6PM
Location: Eyebeam, 540 W. 21st St., NYC
