"Lobby Series #18: iheart variation 003" Exhibition
Roger Smith Hotel
This event has ended.
ArtWeLove, the online art gallery that makes fine art finally collectible, and Roger Smith Arts, the multi-disciplinary arts-production company, are thrilled to present Lobby Series #18: iheart variation 003 by New York-based artist Seth Indigo Carnes at The Roger Smith Hotel.
Following the overwhelming online success of Seth Carnes's iheart variation 003, this exhibition marks the first presentation of ArtWeLove's print series in a public venue. This show will also introduce a set of collaborative variations between Carnes and fellow artists such as Molly Dilworth and Douglas Rushkoff.
Carnes describes the iheart projectas "an exploration of symbolic language; a love affair with representation." It consists of five prints: iheart, heart, splat, pill, and camera.
In a nod to Milton Glaser's famous I ♥ NY logo, Carnes has turned this common phrase on itself by substituting the now-traditional pictogram for their actual English-language equivalents. The four other prints are pictographic.
These five prints can be arranged, displayed, and sequenced in numerous ways, conveying different ideas, feelings, and themes, making owners of these prints artists in their own right.
To demonstrate this concept, the public is being invited to visit The Roger Smith Hotel lobby corridor, which will be lined with a grid of 15 framed prints. There, individuals will be welcomed to re-mix, re-arrange, and re-sequence the pieces to their hearts' content every Tuesday, as well as the second and fourth Sundays of each month at 6pm, for the duration of this exhibition.
