Roxy Paine on the Roof: Maelstrom

Roxy Paine on the Roof: Maelstrom
April 28, 2009–October 25, 2009 (weather permitting)
The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden

American artist Roxy Paine (b. 1966) has created a 130-foot-long by 45-foot-wide stainless-steel sculpture, especially for the Museum’s Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. Giving viewers the sense of being immersed in the midst of a cataclysmic force of nature, Maelstrom (2009) is Paine’s largest and most ambitious work to date. The latest in a diverse body of work, this sculpture is one of the artist’s Dendroids based on systems such as vascular networks, tree roots, industrial piping, and fungal mycelia. Set against Central Park and its architectural backdrop, the installation explores the interplay between the natural world and the built environment amid nature’s inherently chaotic processes.

SHU (Blue Hour Lullaby), 2002/07

A remote high security prison in the desert during the blue hour. The compound prepares for the night, the lights are gradually switched on. Simultaneously to the illuminating on the ground approaching aircraft lights appear in the evening sky, one after the other, slowly accumulating, hovering, floating.
SHU ( SHU – Security Housing Units) was partly inspired by the famous Walt Disney movie logo of Sleeping Beauty Castle.

16mm & high definition video HDV, color, sound, 12’30” (loop)

SHU (Blue Hour Lullaby) is officially selected for the 35th Seattle International Film Festival SIFF (May 21–June 11), as part of the Alternate Cinema program, screening May 22-30, 2009.

PAUL VILLINSKI – Emergency Response Studio

PAUL VILLINSKI
Emergency Response Studio
14 March – 16 April 2009
Opening Reception: Saturday 14 March, 3-6pm

Ballroom Marfa is proud to be hosting Paul Villinski’s Emergency Response Studio, a solar-powered, mobile artist’s studio repurposed from a salvaged FEMA-style trailer.

Emergency Response Studio was conceived by Villinski after visiting Post-Katrina New Orleans, a scene he felt was still comparable to a war-torn region in 2006. The Emergency Response Studio was created with the idea that artists could “embed” in post-disaster environments, and once there, add to the mix of recovery assistance via their creative contributions. Commissioned for the inaugural USA Biennial, Prospect 1. New Orleans, the repurposed trailer was exhibited at various locations throughout the city – including in the Lower Ninth Ward, the area left most devastated by Katrina – and has been touring the country since the exhibition’s closing in January.

As a symbol of transformation and possibilities for crisis-stricken communities, the trailer itself has been completely transfigured from a “toxic tin-can” of a FEMA trailer into a sustainably-built, off the grid living and work space. Solar powered and constructed with green materials – including recycled denim insulation, zero-VOC paints, bamboo cabinetry, compact fluorescent lighting, reclaimed wood and floor tiles made from linseed oil – the Emergency Response Studio is a prototype for self-sufficient, mobile housing with a minimized carbon footprint.

Emergency Response Studio folds out like a jackknife, altering the standardized dimensions of the FEMA trailer with features that include a deck area and a ten foot geodesic skylight. Opening up to the surrounding environment the Emergency Response Studio enables a free exchange between artist and environment in a collaboration of reinvention.

Paul Villinski (b. 1960, Maine, USA) is a New York City based artist who often works with discarded materials, repurposing them in sculptures and installations that suggest the possibility of change itself. His work has been included in numerous exhibitions, including recent shows at Rice University Art Gallery, Houston, TX; The Museum of Arts and Design, New York, NY; The Hillwood Art Museum, Brookville, NY; Socrates Sculpture Park, Long Island City, NY; Bradbury Gallery, Arkansas State University, Jonesboro, AR; Ogunquit Museum of American Art, Ogunquit, ME; Miller Gallery, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA; Jonathan Ferrara Gallery, New Orleans (LA), and Morgan Lehman Gallery, New York (NY).

Emergency Response Studio was conceived as a project for Prospect.1 New Orleans and is presented courtesy of the Artist and Jonathan Ferrara Gallery, New Orleans. Generous funding for Emergency Response Studio in Marfa has been provided by Tim Crowley, Charles Mallory, Dave & Janet Scott and Ballroom Marfa members.
