Dave Hardy and Siebren Versteeg: Spirit Tours 11

Recess says:

Recess invites resident artists to use its storefront as studio, exhibition venue and grounds for experimentation; under Hardy and Versteeg’s direction, Recess will become the site of an ongoing sculptural event. Since its inception, the project has evolved to investigate the notion of the journey, a fancy that continues to disappear from a contemporary experience that creates a demand for and delivers immediacy and consumption. At Recess, Spirit Tours 11 will generate what the artists call a “bootleg transformative experience” that takes cues from the gray-market economy in full swing a block away on Canal Street. Versteeg and Hardy’s residency will begin with a virtual tarot card reading with predictions emanating from an oversized skull. Yes, that’s right. Premonitions that come from the readings will shape the project for the rest of the summer.

Our kind of art installation: one governed by the mysticism of tarot! It's true, Recess' newest resident artists, Dave Hardy and Siebren Versteeg, are undertaking an evolving sculpture project starting Saturday the 17th (at 2 o'clock in the morning, no less), which will be guided throughout by the premonitions of virtual tarot-card readings from a giant skull (oh yes). We're hoping for some serious Mrs. Winchester sh*t, as that grand dame was the queen of building in the name of spirits. See for yourself what materializes, all the way till early September.
