Subway: A, C, E, L to 14 St.-8 Ave.
Andy Karman’s latest project constructs objects that are derived from the California culture of the 60’s and the 70’s. His influence came from the sense of pioneer spirit, future, and optimism of this period and how these ideals permeated everything from architecture, design, and art, thus creating a California lifestyle. In some cases, consumer culture reduced these practices to “kitsch” and rendered them mute by removing their intent. These pieces focus on that aspect by taking the “kitsch” object and bringing it back to its original spirit. The first object is a large-scale macramé that uses scale
to address the notion of fine arts and crafts during the 70’s. The second grouping of pieces uses the quintessential symbol of the desert and the pioneer spirit, the cactus. In Association with Meatpacking District Design Week ’07. May 18 -May 19, 11am-7pm; May 20, noon-6pm
