‘SOME THING ELSE’ ON VIEW AT PETER BLUM CHELSEA

AVV/gs set 6/25 #743975

NEW YORK CITY — Peter Blum Chelsea presents the exhibition “Some Thing Else: David Adamo, Julien Bismuth, Nin Brudermann, Charles Goldman, Erin Shirreff, and Mika Tajima” through August 1.

“Some Thing Else” features six New York-based artists who probe the definitions of an art object by expanding its vocabulary with music, text, video and performance.

Bismuth works in the space between visual art and literature. In “Specific Object,” Bismuth combines a cut felt carpet and an empty pedestal, from which plays an audio recording of a text written by the artist.

In “Sculpture Park,” Shirreff is interested in the experiential and durational difference between looking at a sculpture and looking at a video.

Adamo’s installation untitled (Margret) consists of a stagelike platform on which an empty violin case, two stripped socks, and squashed tomatoes cast in bronze sit forlornly.

Tajima integrates a range of disciplines into her artistic practice: sculpture, painting, music, performance, graphic design and architecture.

Goldman is invested in what he calls “concretized experience.” In “24/24/24/24,” he explores distance and time as containers for individual experiences.

The starting point for Brudermann’s installation is a functional garment — a body suit that she invented and for which she holds the Austrian patent.

Peter Blum Chelsea is at 526 West 29th Street. For information, 212-244-6055 or www.peterblumgallery.com.
