Enter the Smack Mellon loft and you enter a space transformed into a tea-room aboard a cruise-ship peacefully motoring across the water. Sit back in a chair, preferably one facing the view of the water—two mezmerizing projections from the perspective a person at the aft of a ship—and be served tea with biscuits and finger sandwiches while listening to soft piano music. This piece is the culmination of several years' work by artists and Guggenheim Fellows known as eteam, which began as a project in a large landlocked garden in Germany. In the back gallery, Charlotte Schultz, also a Guggenheim Fellow, exhibits Uneven Intensities of Duration a series of multi-dimensional charcoal drawings that depict psychological topographies over surfaces of carefully constructed paper. If you come early on a weekday, you may be lucky enough to have the whole gallery to yourself for this truly unique experience. Are you onboard?

Smack Mellon says…

Smack Mellon is pleased to present Gallery Cruise by eteam. The New York-based 2010 Guggenheim fellows explore the relationship between space and time, real and imagined. Gallery Cruise transports visitors to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean via an elaborate cruise ship Tea Room recreated in the gallery. In the back gallery, Charlotte Schulz’s multi-dimensional charcoal drawings depict psychological topographies that stretch and multiply onto surfaces of carefully constructed paper.
