SWOON @ New Image Art
One of the walls at New Image Art Gallery covered by the artwork of SWOON.
"Swoon’s intricate paper cutouts have been covering the streets of New York for the past six years with people doing ordinary things –riding bikes, talking on a stoop or going grocery shopping. Her delicate wheatpasted cutouts take inspiration from German Expressionist wood block prints and Indonesian shadow puppets, but infuse a uniquely urban sensibility in the way they become part of the streetscape as they decay over time. Her work has shown at Deitch Projects and P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in New York, and was also featured in the 2006 Whitney Biennial."
