Cai Guo-Qiang’s Clear Sky Black Cloud at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
A black cloud appears above the Roof Garden daily at noon, bursting like an inkblot in the sky and then dissipating slowly in the air. This recurring work, made from miniature black smoke shells, sets a new and symbolic clock for New York City for the duration of the exhibition.
I’ve been caught up in my redesign and didn’t notice that nominations for the Irish Blog Awards are now open. If you want you can nominate Stunned here, they have an arts and culture award oh yes and nominations close tomorrow so if you’re going to do it do it quickly!
Pallas Studios launch their new exhibition space Pallas Contemporary Projects 11 lwr Grangegorman Road, Stoneybatter in Dublin 7 this Friday 6-8pm with an Reverse Psychology an exhibition by Eilis McDonald. PCP is the replacement for the fantastic Pallas Heights (which we mentioned many times here) the most innovative exhibition venue in Dublin for a long time -if not ever- and it’s great to see that the spirit of Pallas Heights will continue.
-edit and a word on the exhibition-
Eilis McDonald’s first solo show, REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY, is an explosion of subconscious landscapes, loud music, spiritual energies and ghosts.
Pallas are delighted to announce that Eilis is the first artist to show in their new gallery, Pallas Contemporary Projects, in Stoneybatter.
The exhibition fuses contrasting media, atmospheres and imagery under a cloak of chaos and mystery. McDonald is interested in the ‘presence’ of objects and how they fuse and detract around each other; she studies how this affects their energy and spirit. She likes to contrast accidental and subconscious images with deliberate designs and aesthetic decisions to form an arresting, multi-layered experience.
This Exhibition May not be suitable for light sensitive epileptics
Welcome to the new design, first step of a complete overhaul of the entire Stunned site and long long overdue. I’m still sorting out a few kinks and will be adding more links and features over the next while so bear with me.
