For the first iteration of this virtual exhibition series, we bring together the work of three artists who will take you “out for a walk.”
In the presented works, Esther Hovers, Magali Duzant, and Hugo Rocci look at New York City through lenses that might appear different, but despite those differences, they all try to respond to unanswerable questions in a period of uncertainty. The query oscillates around mathematical problems about movement, esoteric searches in the NYC Subway System, and narratives embedded in the city’s storefronts.
They portray the city as a space that allows for data collection, as a metaphor for the unpredictable, and most importantly, as a space that beholds, perceives, and considers its inhabitants –tourists, strollers, commuters, and other types of professional and amateur walkers, in parallel intensity.
