Curling on a Manhattan rooftop. Really?
Throw in a 麻豆传媒映画artist using curling as a way to world peace and youll wish you had been in New York on April 10 to see it for yourself.
Curling is the only sport where communication and collaboration alter the trajectory, says Jason Young in his explanation of why hes performing his latest work on the top of Soho Club, a private members club and hotel in Manhattans Meatpacking District. Its a sport that suggests that we are much more likely to resolve our differences by focusing things we agree upon.
A follow-up of his award-winning short film, 2054 had two teams representing warm and cool colours throwing glowing chrome sculptures/curling stones down a customized 50-foot light box. As the stone travelled, it left behind a comet trail of colour.
Sections of the resulting painting will be chosen to create 10 individual lightbox paintings.
The result, he hopes, will enlighten viewers about the possibility of resolving world issues through collaboration, fun and play.
Young studied fine art at the University of Southern California before moving to Paris to complete the graduate program at LInstitut des Hautes Etudes en Arts Plastiques. He specializes in using unconventional materials such as resin and automotive lacquer for his abstract works, which are part of collections owned by the Four Seasons Group, Hewlett Packard, the Tucson Museum of Art and Kresqe Museum of Art. In Vancouver, his work has been displayed at Monte Clark Gallery. ()
