Caleb Nussear and Brian Zegeer "Shell Game"
Local Project
This event has ended.
Employing cast-off materials from Long Island City’s streets in the production of a sculptural installation, Shell Game enacts a conversation with LIC.’s idiosyncratic urban geography. Characterized in abrupt transitions between light-industrial, residential, and commercial zones, LIC’s mercurial character will be elicited in an ever-changing, visionary topology created from its own detritus. This evolving installation will be accompanied by an animation documenting sculptural investigations.
Shell Game ultimately creates a composite of its subject landscape, via the material investigations of the artists. In plumbing Long Island City’s neighborhoods for their rubbish and cast-aways, the artists offer a snapshot of the various social, economic, and cultural forces at play in the constitution of this dynamic neighborhood.
