NP Rank:
SWOON at Deitch Projects
From Flavorpill:
After defining the standard for New York street arts with her intricately
detailed wheat-pastings, SWOON takes command of Deitch Projects for her
debut solo show. Inspired by wide-ranging multicultural influences, including
Indonesian wayang puppets and German expressionist prints, her installation transforms the
gallery into an all-encompassing urban landscape, evocative of everything from
shadowy Hong Kong back-alleys to local stoops, sidewalks, and elevated railways.
This is a world that revels in the magical multiplicity of the city growing upon
itself. Spaces reproduce within spaces, figures within figures, and stories
within stories in a symbolic, experiential cycle of decay, regeneration, and
unregulated creativity. (AM)
