Circa: 2012
Kim Holleman,
CIRCA 2012: Ruminations on a Changing World
Circa 2012: Ruminations on a Changing World is Holleman’s apocalyptic vision of the world once man has brought it to its final ruins. The largest element of the exhibition is TRASHNAMI!: a massive-scale cresting tidal wave comprised of trash bags that threatens to engulf the exhibition space. The space will be flagged by several large painted murals and smaller motorized sculptures, which will be operated by the audience during opening night. In addition, Holleman will roll out her winning piece, Trailer Park, a complete 14 x 8 x 8 ft trailer that has been converted into a mobile public park.
Holleman’s previous solo show took place at Black and White Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and received stellar reviews. Alan Gilbert of The Village Voice says, “The uniqueness—and importance—of Holleman's eco-aesthetics reside in her imaginative attempts to reconcile this awkward relationship.”
The opening of CIRCA: 2012 will be as unique and bold as the work itself. Artists Wanted and White Box have teamed up with renegade event producers, “TheDanger”, to put together a street party opening featuring a flat-bed truck as a stage and DJ Leonard de la Posso, Kim's fellow alum from The Cooper Union, will be spinning live on the street until midnight.
Opening Event: July 17th, 2008. 6 - 11pm
Location: White Box, 525 West 26 Street, New York, NY
New York, NY— Artists Wanted, in collaboration with White Box, is proud to announce the opening of Kim Holleman’s Chelsea Solo Show, Circa 2012.
