Red, Yellow and Blue is a new installation by New York based artist Orly Genger. This work features the artist’s usage of intricately hand-knotted nautical rope covered in paint. The 1.4 million feet of rope was collected from hundreds of miles up and down the Eastern seaboard. It combines elements of the coastline with the urban setting of Madison Square Park.
Artist Orly Genger states:
“For Madison Square Park I wanted to create a work that would impress in scale but still engage rather than intimidate. The tradition of knitting carries the sharing of stories and the installation draws on that idea. The repurposed rope brings with it the stories of different locations and by knotting it, a space is created for the words and thoughts of viewers in New York City to complete the work, creating a silent dialogue that waves along.”
Friends of Field Projects!

Happy Wednesday!
Danah boyd has a great summary of the new Pew report on Teens, Social Media, and Privacy. The whole thing is worth a read — especially her thoughts on race and social media use — but the most interesting stuff was about “social steganography” — smuggling meaning past grown-ups through the clever use of in-jokes […]
“Instead, what they’ve been doing is focusing on controlling access to meaning.”
Field Projects thinks this is not only beautiful but a powerful tool (obviously in the right hands) just begging to be employed!
Another great submission from out Open Call. Peter Fankhauser (http://peterfankhauser.com) is a nyc based artist who’s work underscores moments of sympathy between American religious cosmology and the queer experience.

Christine Gedeon, OHS, Brooklyn (Plot re-visualized) ((shown above on the flyer)) is now up at the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, along with some other large works!

In addition to these beautiful topographies, she is transforming space with her fabulous installation work (image above).

NEW MEDIA - Field Projects loves the idea of making a living drawing - seems like these glowing dinoflagellates would be one hell of a medium! (plus making your own nightlight looks like a very cool and fun thing to do) Is anyone using bioluminescence in their current practice? Please share your genius!
Hey Kids!
