Pippilotti Rist at PS1

The little misterious and magic hole in the floor. I need to discover what is the magic inside my peepholes. I found also a very funny space in myspace in which a review of Art in Odd Places is posted. Mikki (according to her profile 100 year old and Brooklynite) says:
"Today I went to the East Village to for the Art in Odd Places [these projects are amazing !!!] show. This combines three things that I love: maps, weird art installations, and walking around. So great. You just download the map and then look for the little (sometimes big) artworks. LIKE A F******G TREASURE HUNT BUT WITH ART! Sumakshi Singh made these beautiful pieces, reflections that he inserted into the world. He painted them on cast resin and then put them underfoot.















Like a little window into a world just a membrane away, so tiny and so huge. They are obviously a lot like that Pippilotti Rist piece at PS1, but they also remind me of these paintings that Mary Temple makes, shadows of things that aren't there. She paints them in latex onto walls. They are so mournful and spooky and yet somehow exciting and hopeful because they let you know that there are things you haven't seen yet, and great mysteries still out there.
