Turn the Page: The First Ten Years of Hi-Fructose

August 29, 2016August 16, 2016 / erinkhylton / Leave a comment

Hi-Fructose magazine turned 10 years old this year. At MOCA they marked the 10th anniversary by featuring the works of 51 artists who were featured between its pages. The exhibition entitled Turn the Page: The First Ten Years of Hi-Fructose features works by artists in a variety of media, such as installation, painting, photography, sculpture and ceramics. Below are a few of my favorists:

EUTOPIA

Curated experiences throughout the Main Hall (Building C), the Hyphen over Shinbone Alley, the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art (Building G) and the New York Chinese Scholar’s Garden

June 11 – September 11 2016
Wednesday-Sunday 10AM-5PM $5 Admission
“Eutopia”, derived from the Greek εὖ (‘good’ or ‘well’) and τόπος (‘place’), describes a society with qualities considerably better than ours.

εὖτόπος is the first group show by the artists of the 9th Street Phenomenon, a creative management group established in 2015 by The Vanderbilt Republic.

This large-scale, site-responsive exhibition connects artwork and installations by Sabrina Barrios, Sarah E. Brook, Charles Heppner, Carlton Scott Sturgill, TAXIPLASM, TJ Volonis & Dale Williams to the storied past and bucolic present of Staten Island’s historic Snug Harbor — creating a space to present the energy and form of dreams made real.

Curation, lighting & technical design by George Del Barrio.

It was an incredible evening celebrating the exhibition Color Between the Lines by artist Jonathan Joseph. Curating the exhibition was an absolute pleasure, and I look forward to continuing the momentum in the near future!

Hands On: Build a Kingdom

August 12, 2015July 24, 2015 / erinkhylton / Leave a comment

On Sunday, August 16th from 2-4pm families are invited to a drop-in workshop inspired by Lauren Halsey’s artwork in the Everything, Everyday exhibition at The Studio Museum in Harlem. As a 2014-15 Artist in Residence Lauren constructed one of her “kingdoms,” built environments that combine contemporary and ancient imagery with materials ranging from crystals and LEDs to lasers, iridescent light and more in the Mezzanine Gallery space. Families are invited to think on how might they build their own kingdom and create their own sculptural creations.

Below are some photographs I took of the installation at The Studio Museum in Harlem
