In her current multimedia exhibition “For the People of New York City,” Lutz Bacher constructs a poetic installation of transient objects such as marbles and domestic figures. She references several artists integral to the history of New York, first taking the title of the exhibition from Blinky Palermo. In Empire, 2014, Bacher repurposes Andy Warhol’s breakthrough film as a series of color projections of the Empire State Building as lit in red, white, and blue, suggesting a modern day manifest destiny reinforced by the multiplicity of this image on a range of surfaces. In How Will I Find You, 2014, Bacher’s elegiac sculptural composition summons her talents to evoke emotion from the least likely sources.
The exhibition is on view through May 9th.
