Curated by Brooklyn-based Swedish designer Helena Fredriksson, the rousing Color Palate Project enlists ten international artists to riff on an assigned tint — inspired more by Goethe's Theory of Colours than that grade-school aid of Roy G. Biv. Starting with white and shading towards black, viewers are immersed in luminous color through multi-screen, monochromatic projections. Each color also serves a culinary interpretation, resulting in a polychromatic, ten-course feast: Orange materializes as lobster bisque, dal, and carrot marmalade; purple as Peruvian potatoes, cabbage, and vinegar. Contributors to this conceptual rainbow include the art/design studio Double Triple, Ana Matronic (of Scissor Sister notoriety), her partner Seth Kirby, and Brooklyn-based sound artist Mike Skinner.
