For those of you who can’t make the show at Wave Hill, here is one of the two videos in the show. The Day video is coming soon!!
“For her multi-media project Half Life, Parker built a scale model of the southern section of Wave Hill’s Glyndor House, which contains the Sunroom Project Space, and placed it in the nearby Woodland from March to August 2011. A motion-sensor camera was fixed on the structure, recording the comings and goings of various fauna that live onsite, as well as changes to the flora over that period. Parker edited the short bursts of high-definition video into two time-lapse sequences, one day and one night, which are displayed with the weathered and dilapidated model, serving as a witness to the unseen changes in the landscape.”
There will be an artist talk/reception on September 18 at 1:30 in the Sunroom Project space at Wave Hill. The Friendly Falcons have a really amazing installation next door in the Sunporch and are doing a performance after my Q & A/artist talk. I love their project, and am looking forward to the performance!
It’s almost time to take down the model, put it in storage at Wave Hill until the show in September. I can’t believe it has already been 5 months. I am looking forward to seeing how the model of the Sunroom looks in the Sunroom in Glyndor House…
On July 22nd my friend Corinne May Botz met me at Wave Hill to help me photograph the model. She is an amazing artist and also expert at photographing small spaces. For her project “The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death” she photographed 18 miniature crime scenes. Check out the book, it is beautiful. Corinne is not only one of my favorite artists she is also one of my favorite people and a very generous friend.
As you can see, the model has fallen apart a lot in the past few weeks!
This baby raccoon is very curious. Had to break in through the window!
I took this picture a few weeks ago but am just getting to post this now. I really like how this looks like an actual room not a small scale room. I think I will print it large for the show in September.
Almost all the shutters have fallen off and some kind person placed most of them inside the model.
