"New York Photo Festival 2010: Hidden Books, Hidden Stories" Exhibition
St. Ann's Warehouse
This event has ended.
Hidden Books, Hidden Stories consists of two components. The first Photographs will be selected and sequenced by Mr. Reed and will be accompanied by an original musical score.
Hidden Books, Hidden Stories is an exceptionally personal exploration of myriad imaginative and compelling visual narratives. Some are in books, some presented in larger-than-life scales of projection and display that impress and delight. Part one is is a grand audiovisual presentation that will premiere during the festival’s opening night Vernissage. After the show’s premiere, the projection will be screened during regular intervals during the festival on the presentation stage at St. Ann’s Warehouse.
Part two of Hidden Books, Hidden Stories is a collection of participating artists’ books in a custom-built display that will give the visiting public an opportunity to experience each individual artist’s narrative in its entirety.
Part three of Hidden Books, Hidden Stories is a new installation of photographs and videos by Doug and Mike Starn of their monumental architectural performance, Big Bambú, which they are constructing as a site-specific work for The Metropolitan Museum of Art Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. (The Met exhibition will be open April 27—October 31, 2010). To build Big Bambú—an ever-changing sculpture made from thousands of fresh-cut bamboo poles—the Starns are working as high as 50 feet from the ground, directing a team of rock climbers.
