JUXTAPOZ – Emily Furr “Deirious New York” @ SARGENT’s Girls, NYC
Sargement Girls I am pleased to present Emily FourThe fifth individual exhibition with the exhibition: Delayus New York. Through paintings, graphics, and drawings, the new working group puts these fine images in the dialogue with the integrated environment in New York City. The work of the Rem Koolhaas, the same title, is a sprawling analysis of architecture, planning for Manhattan and a statement in the presence of the twentieth century. The new Furr work works critically with the history and city of the city that invites it to the house, and re -interpret its connotations through surreal and fun structures.
in Delayus New YorkKoolhaas drew the history of the Evolution of Manhattan from the indigenous indigenous population, by developing the skyscrapers, to major modern and redesign projects. The book was published in 1978 and the city is a laboratory point and an origin for modern urban culture, focusing on psychology and the ideology of the people who build and live it. Culhas scattered with historical and enthusiastic tales of the following stages of Manhattan’s development.
Today, we live in a completely different city from Koolhaas that I first faced, however the iconic monuments that it analyzes still stand as evidence of the city itself. Furr has lived in New York over the past 24 years, and arrived in the city shortly from September 11, 2001. Through her main bodies, she turned the significance of masculinity, violence, power in satirical visual puns and sabotage scenes. In New York, this project continues on home grass, as it is called the same landmarks as Koolhaas to interrogate the optimistic urban ideals they represent.
In the offered panels, Furr evokes a moon that floats between the city’s blocks, a tongue that licks the side of the skyscraper, and architectural landmarks that collapsed like neglected drawings. The size, location, and gravity are all unrelated, and the city’s night view appears to lose cohesion. As we enter new eras of uncertainty and absurdity in the twenty -first century, Culhaas’s dynamic understanding of the city still reflects its changing development constantly. Like Koolhaas text, Furr’s surrealist books celebrate the contradictions of urban life, and refute the linear concepts of progress and expansion.
