Site-Specific Installations

Florence Lynch Gallery, New York

Florence Lynch Gallery is pleased to present our annual Summer Site-Specific Installations with this year’s participants, Andra Samelson, Tamiko Kawata, and Erwin Redl.


Andra Samelson: Hands On, June 1 - June 9.

Samelson’s installation celebrates the hand-made. Drawing hands directly on the wall with paper dots, she enlarges their size to emphasize the human element in an increasingly digital world. The dotted lines create phantom contours which continuously shift the focus between the space inside and outside. Andra Samelson exhibited at Kenise Barnes Fine Art, Stone Quarry Hill Art Park, New York University, PS 122 Gallery and Pardo Lattuada, among others. She was a Fellowship Award Winner for the New York Foundation for the Arts and has recently been commissioned for an outdoor installation by The New Jersey Transit Authority for the city of Hoboken, New Jersey.


Tamiko Kawata: Passing Life - Three Falls, June 14 - 23.

Kawata’s art making is her diary in visual form. It is an expression of her feelings and comment on life. She likes to use common materials that she finds around her in everyday life. They are about ephemeral life. They look sturdy & solid but pass away. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, next year becomes last year. Tamiko affirms "our parents pass away, we will pass away and give it to the next generation, and the next, like a river continues running. Our life is like a big beautiful yet tough and strong waterfall, a certain portion of a continuous river that visually stands out." Tamiko Kawata has exhibited at the University Art Gallery - Staller Center for the Arts, Carrige House/Islip Museum, Contemporary Art and Craft Gallery in Portland, OR, Stone Quarry Hill Art Park and Snug Harbor Cultural Center, among others. She is the current recipient of the Yaddo, Louise Bourgeois Residency Award for a Sculptor. Kawata will be featured at the Takano Art Gallery in 2002.


Erwin Redl: The Matrix III, June 26 - July 7.

Redl’s work reflects upon the condition of art making after the "digital experience." The formal and structural approach to various media he employs, such as installation, CD-ROM, internet and sound, requires binary logic. Redl assembles the material according to a narrow set of self-imposed rules which often incorporate algorithms, controlled randomness and other methods inspired by computer code. Erwin Redl holds an MFA in Computer Art from School of Visual Arts, New York and a BA in Composition and Electronic Music from the Music Academy, Vienna. In 1997/98 he participated in the International Studio Residency Program at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, New York. For his studies at School of Visual Arts, the artist was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship. Erwin Redl has lived and worked in New York since 1993.


Opening receptions will be held on June 1, June 14, and June 26 from 6-9 pm.

Gallery hours are Wednesday to Saturday 11 to 6p.m. The gallery will be open by appointment only from July 11 through the 31st and will be closed in August. We will re-open on September 6 with a photographic installation by Linda Van Boven. For further information and photographic material, please contact Florence Lynch or Angelina N. Ebreo at 967-7584.
