HENRY CHAPMAN wrote . . .<\/strong>
\na wonderful, short & to-the-point essay . . both elegant & scientific !!
\non the BLINN & LAMBERT, ‘New Grey Planet’ show, still up at Microscope, Brooklyn – thru this weekend.<\/p>\n

I especially liked how ‘informed’ his take was, and how he was able to visualize & ‘pull out’ so many different, yet specific elements. I was also . . absolutely stunned by his last sentence, & the essay’s conclusion:
\n“Expressivity isn’t a given – it’s a project.” (!!!!)<\/p>\n

which mirrored my own conclusion – that above all else, ‘New Grey Planet’ is a . . trip.
\na 3-D immersive production, that’s made<\/strong> to be seen \/ & experienced – so go see it while you can.<\/p>\n

everyone comes out – with their own <\/strong> version, their own<\/strong> sense of what they had just . . stepped into. a dark room, a blast of red & blue light.
\nan open format, unspecified sci fi narrative, and the mysterious life . . of ordinary objects.
\nthere is no blatant human presence.<\/p>\n

“like PONGE before them, the artists (BLINN & LAMBERT \/ NICHOLAS STEINDORF & KYLE WILLIAMS) . . find life in these everyday things through twin acts of observation & imagination.”
\n~HENRY CHAPMAN.<\/p>\n

for the record:
\nit was super great of MICROSCOPE, to live up to its name & mission . . and bring these young artists’ visionary & ground-breaking debut show to Brooklyn \/ NYC.<\/p>\n

HENRY CHAPMAN’s essay on ‘NEW GREY PLANET’ . . for ‘artcritical’ begins:
\n“Milk glass floats under a pendulum of light .. it’s effect both vivid and spectral<\/strong> enough to recall FRANCIS PONGE’S assessment of the mollusk <\/strong>, ‘a being – almost – a quality.’<\/em>
\nthat phrase making a good ‘5 word’ . . summation of the entire show, in all its permutations, itself.<\/p>\n

HENRY CHAPMAN: “Every object has a shadow teeming with associative resonances. In one of the most strangely poetic moments … the shadow of a porcelain deer figurine is partially absorbed and erased by a stream of time-released <\/strong> water.”<\/p>\n
