Jim Hodges @ Gladstone Gallery

A fun interactive installation, the tempura paint drips from the ceiling missing the openings on the floor creating splatters of multi-colored paints all around the floor. The guests are allowed to participate and get into the space and play, adding to the extension of the piece by leaving their own mark. I chose to use the press release as a stamp and created my own self-made souvenir from the show. The other pieces being shown at Gladstone was a giant disco ball in the center of the room hovering above a hole made in the floor of the gallery filled with water that reminded me of some astrological/lunar imagery which was very cool. There was also black mosaic tile pieces in interesting shapes that look like shoulder pads or shells that contained star-like and astrological elements.

At the other location was large boulders with colored metal sheets welded on and large photos with scratches.

Go check it out yourself and tell me what you think. I would like to see the paint room in a few days when all of the paint is turning murky brown from being blended so much. Its pretty now, but its interesting that all the colors, when combined, just turns into muck.
