Purple Art
[February 1 2012]
KLARA LIDEN at REENA SPAULINGS, New York
Klara Liden’s Pretty Vacant features urban remnants given new life and function within the gallery. Her installation S.A.D. mines Christmas trees discarded on the street in January accompanied by a sofa for contemplating the inevitable demise of these objects. Elsewhere in the space, Liden remedies the gallery’s lighting situation by transforming a New York City street cone into an overhead lamp. Liden’s work is a rebellious and subversive intervention for city life. On view through February 19th 2012 at Reena Spaulings, 165 East Broadway, New York. Photo and text Juliana Balestin
