Tamar Ettun's 'Alula in Blue' Transforms Fridman Gallery into a Living Body
Tamar Ettun's exhibition, titled 'Alula in Blue,' is currently on display at Fridman Gallery in New York, operating from September 19 to October 24, 2015. This immersive show features a combination of sculptures and video that symbolize a living entity. A highlighted installation, 'Blue Bubble,' consists of a large parachute suspended by a fan, resembling internal organs. The exhibition includes various sculptures influenced by Yvonne Rainer's 'Hand Movie' and a 13-minute video performance, filmed at Watermill Center. Ettun's work investigates the relationship between the physical body and objects, integrating themes of classical art and S&M.
