Nothing against Christo and Jean Claude, but art isn't meant to be big grand flourishes of orange gates.
And really, I love Olafur, and huge waterfalls under the great bridges of New York are really cool, but
art is supposed to be an intimate affair. Which is why I asked some of my favorite artists and some of my best friends to interpret the idea of the Lilliputian and the temporal, the specks of dust that make up the world, the fleeting moments of pleasure and pain. I wanted the artists to bend over their workbenches and canvases and get inside of their tiny artworks. I wanted to freeze a moment so you could all lean in, get our faces right up next to the artwork, as close as you can possibly get, and see a tiny beautiful thing. I wanted to make a galaxy of tiny art, a prismatic assemblage of little moments: this is Brevity's Rainbow. -curator's note, Maxwell Williams |
