Carlos Cruz-Diez: (In)formed by Color at Americas Society







I can't get this show out of my mind! I saw a few works by this guy at The "Geometry of Hope" Exhibition last year at the Grey Art Gallery. But this is a pretty comprehensive show of his work, including Cromosaturación, a site-specific environment designed by the artist for Americas Society’s gallery. Initially conceived of in 1965, this groundbreaking artwork consists of three separate light-infused color chambers of red, green, and blue. The true content of the work involves the visitor walking into, through, and around the shifting chromatic space, and its interaction over time with his or her own physical movement. This show is up till the 13th only...so when you are in midtown taking advantage of the 70% off sales at Saks and Barneys, check this show out...The americas society is located at 68 and Park, free admission and they do some great shows there.
