“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.”

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.
