The Young Hae-Chang Heavy Industries Flash installation, BLACK ON WHITE, GRAY ASCENDING, is located on the ground floor of the New Museum's new location on the Bowery.
"Invoking the genre of film noir, and the hard-boiled literary styles of Raymond Chandler and Phillip K. Dick, YHCHI’s imaginative, witty and often politically pointed narratives offer layered and compelling stories in which identities are assumed and discarded, and ideologies of all persuasions are held up and questioned.
For BLACK ON WHITE, GRAY ASCENDING, their project for the New Museum, the artists have expanded their usual single-channel format to create an unprecedented seven-channel installation that tells a chilling story of abduction and assassination from seven separate points of view, set to an eerily laid-back bossa nova score. The installation is at once as nostalgic as a 1960s suspense film and as current as the daily headlines." - New Museum
Instead of paying $12, $8, or $6, buy a pastry from the museum's coffee shop, take a seat, and enjoy the work through the glass barrier.
The installation will be up until March 23, 2008.
New Museum is located at 235 Bowery by Prince Street.
