ISIDRO BLASCO: TILTED

Isidro Blasco is a great artist and a good friend. Just look over his career to realize the value of their work that we have collected on numerous occasions since the start of METALOCUS. This new exhibition, as part of the DUMBO Arts Festival, allows us to come back to work in up to October 30 in Brooklyn. If you are or go through New York, do not miss it.

For the show at Smack Mellon titled Tilted, he created perspectival fragmentations of Smack Mellon’s gallery space alongside a prismatic recreation of a DUMBO streetscape. Isidro Blasco took photographs of DUMBO from multiple perspective points and combined them to create mosaic-like patterns which he then mounted onto a three-dimensional construction built from wooden slats. Projections that cast shadows on the visitors of the show on the gallery wall add to the multilayered concept of the show. The exhibition runs until October 30, 2011.
