“EZ Spirit” Exhibition
Essex Flowers
This event has ended.
Essex Flowers presents EZ Spirit, an exhibition organized by Lizzie Wright in collaboration with Saira McLaren and Janine Polak. The collaboration developed through a series of conversations between the artists, earth, wind, and fire.
Wright delineated a general layout for the show, which included a makeshift theater for her video CJ’s, featuring young men cliff jumping. The theater is a boulder that serves as a screen for the video projection and contains an area inside of it for private seating - a space within a space, earth cover. Saira McLaren was asked to create an aesthetic yet functional seating area for viewing CJ’s, employing her rich, color-soaked painting technique and following the directives of “heat/fire.” Janine Polak, working from the descriptions “air and wind,” handled the walls of the gallery using her gentle touch, material handling, and subtle color shifts. The result produces a windswept atmosphere at the edges of the space - ez spirit.
Saira McLaren, Janine Polak, and Lizzie Wright all live and work in Brooklyn, NY.
