Philippe Parreno H {N)Y P N(Y} OSIS at the Park Avenue Armory

June 21, 2015

Installation, light, video, performance and sound components all play into Philippe Parreno’s work filling the space at the Park Avenue Armory. It’s a completely immersive experience that is unique to each viewer (the exhibition will be at the Armory through August 2) and I’d recommend giving yourself at least two hours if your goal is to watch all of the video art that comprises the installation. A cylindrical contraption, that acts as seating in the space, holds viewers and slowly rotates following the videos and the periodic light/sound pieces. Somewhat meta in nature due to the content of some videos, the piece really makes you contemplate your very own presence/placement within the exhibition.
