- Paul Chan, The 7 Lights, Courtesy New Museum
Paul Chan's series of seven digital projections recounts the story of Genesis in light and shadow. Silhouettes of familiar objects drift either skyward or down to earth, cast onto the New Museum's floors, corners, and walls. Occasionally, a human form plummets in the opposite direction, or a bird cuts a new trajectory. The creation story oddly incorporates apocalyptic images of war, 9/11, and the Rapture, with objects standing in for the saved and bodies falling faster than cars or AK-47s. The videos are complemented by new drawings, and a canvasing of Manhattan and Brooklyn with thousands of anonymous, visionary poems.
Note: Paul Chan speaks at the New School as part of the Public Art Fund lecture series on Wed Apr 30.
