KASUR I Proposal: DC8F10
The sound of gravel under your feet, the city a blur, just inches away, its sounds pulsating undiminished. Other visitors, strangers, like ghosts, in your new space of swire and light. Our proposal is a forest of steel wires, fastened to a metal grid roof, falling through a layer of gravel, to a metal grid floor. The white painted wires thus disappear into the gravel, and evoke a bamboo forest, a flowy textile, a waterfall, all in perfect, engineerable tension. The objects and people in the installation become divided and blurry, their shapes undefineable and rough at the edges, like the fine patterning of ancient japanese Kasuri weaves. The wire-forest creates rooms for people to flow though, interact and pause, and makes secluded and secure rooms connected to the inside galleryspace, where sculptures can be placed, to enhance the experience of the urban steel forest. Your moment of zen, right next to Cooper Square.
