A Day Elsewhere: Think Tank 2.

curated by Willy Van den Bussche.

We travel to be free, to reinvent ourselves against different backdrops, different cultures. We listen to other music, wait in other cafes, and hear other stories. But in traveling, we also become more ourselves.

In creating an environment that takes viewers out of the sounds and images of their everyday world, A Day Elsewhere, Think Tank 2 , an exhibition of work by Belgian artist Didier Mahieu aims to begin an experience of transformation. Using installation, photography, sound, and painting, Mahieu explores themes of identity and freedom, and asks what it is that binds us to ourselves and to each other.

Tongue and Groove: Moveable Sculptures

curated by Manon Slome

In her first solo museum show in New York, Courtney Smith will present a series of sculptures covering her work from 2003 to the present. Smith's sculptural investigations begin with deconstructing furniture either by cutting, hinging and manipulating its parts to create a new order or by invading the host body with foreign elements which take over the original structure like a parasite. One set of work piles mountains of hard-edged modules onto furniture while another erases the surface through intricate carving. The exhibition also features Smith's collages and text based work.

Opening: 8 March 2006
