Simone Huelser
Modern Culture at Gershwin Hotel, New York
Modern Culture At The Gershwin Hotel will present "Simone Huelser: What You See Is What You Get," a solo exhibition of photomurals, pencil drawings, and photographs. Yesterday's future and all tomorrow's parties: space-age nostalgia meets pre-digital psychedelia in Simone Huelser's first New York solo show. The whacko imaginings of yesterday's creators-and how they envisioned the future-are the visual fundus from which the artist draws: artifacts, interiors, sci-fi movies, architecture, textile design or the hallucinogenic drug compounds used to induce said visions.

"Simone Huelser: What You See Is What You Get," a solo exhibition of

Yesterday's future and all tomorrow's parties: space-age nostalgia meets
pre-digital psychedelia in Simone Huelser's first New York solo show. The
whacko imaginings of yesterday's creators--and how they envisioned the
future--are the visual fundus from which the artist draws: artifacts,
interiors, sci-fi movies, architecture, textile design or the hallucinogenic
drug compounds used to induce said visions.
The resounding echo of the imagery--now eclipsed by recent
technology--permeates the exhibition space in photomurals, pencil drawings
and photographs.
Soothing yet confusing, the retro-chic flashback flashforward is realized
through the reverse use of digital and analog media, the opposition of
virtuality and reality, and visual elements of the familiar and unfamiliar.
Two large-scale, site-specific photomural installations place virtual
reality in reality, fusing digital visual information to the gallery walls.
Pencil drawings, inspired by architecture, organic structures and ancient
hallucinogenic drug compounds are a low-tech, high-detail exploration of
three-dimensionality and the making of digital graphics. The entire
futurama is compounded by photographs, flooded with colored light, of
imagined architectural spaces and structures.
Ms. Huelser, a young, New York-based German artist, is an alumna of the
Kunstakademie Dusseldorf, and has exhibited her work in New York City,
Cologne, Dusseldorf, Dresden, Stuttgart, and Mexico City. In 1999, she
installed temporary, large-scale photomurals of necktie designs and
telephone message pad pages in Dusseldorf's Old Post Office. In 2000, Ms.
Huelser installed a temporary, large-scale, site-specific photomural
consisting of digital images of small, commonplace features of the New York
City subway system in the renowned La PanaderÃa in Mexico City.
