The LAB (for Installation + Performance Art) is pleased to announce a new collaboration between visual artist Olek and choreographer Carrie Ahern. "Covers, a morphing crochet installation presented to the Midtown-Manhattan passersby from within the fishbowl confines of The LAB Gallery will occur every Monday, Wednesday and Friday September 9th through September 25th during the evening rush hours (5:30-6:30pm).
Oleks three wearable sculptures, handmade of mostly recycled synthetic materials using classic crochet techniques and connected into one large crocheted sculpture, will be entered, separated and transformed into evolving images by performers Carrie Ahern, Jillian Hollis and Agata Oleksiak. The performance installation will raise questions of how ones own desires are projected onto the static objects one sees in store windows, and investigate how our desires shift when the objects become live women, both moving and changing the shape of the objects, and vulnerable to the audiences gaze. What is the residual relationship to the objects once disinhabited by the performers and left as a new static installation?
The live performance transformations will occur September 9th, 11th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 21st, 23rd, and 25th, 2009 from 5:30-6:30pm. The installation will be on view 24/7 September 9th 25th, 2009.
