Tonight Riflemaker will host a special live performance “Mouth Off !” by Russian artist Andrey Bartenev.
If you can’t make it you still can view th exhibition at the gallery until March 11.
If you work or walked through Soho recently, you must have probably noticed the strange and hypnotic art installation in the windows of Riflemaker on Beak street.
Pay them a visit, it is interesting!
Bartenev’s ‘glass discotheque’ depicts a lake of mirrored light spheres with the words “connection lost” circling in endless orbit. A tiny heart planted inside each one symbolizes the frustration that awaits us all in this world of virtual and passive communication. The message endlessly reproduces itself within it’s virus-like blur; a whirl of letters and mirrors creating its own new connective structure. This microcosmic dancefloor, on which the revellers are almost touching yet still dance alone, becomes a metaphor for the alienation of today’s virtual, simulative communities. Disco-nnexion will be remixed at Riflemaker from December 2007 through February 2008.
