Art & Idea is pleased to announce an exhibition by New York based Brazilian artist and architect Solange Fabiao titled Duration: 1 hour and 3 minutes - Location: 17.3 miles.
Duration: 1 hour and 3 minutes - Location: 17.3 miles, a digital video installation is the first part of the on-going project Transitio, an intended global dialogue, embodying a "city within a city."
For this installation Fabi‹o has documented 17.3 miles of Broadway filmed from the vantage of a Taxi passenger starting at 228th Street (border of Manhattan and the Bronx) and ending near Wall Street. New York CityÕs famed Broadway has historical significance as Manhattan's first major thoroughfare and to this day the only one to diagonally cross all of Manhattan. Encompassing many neighborhoods and economic conditions Duration: 1 hour and 3 minutes - Location: 17.3 miles threads a non-linear narrative of multiple stories that are a compression of thousands of moments. Alluding to time lapsing and the essence of randomness the double-sided object/ video sculpture creates a dual viewpoint that allows the audience the option to view the video from opposing points. An environment ensues enveloping the gallery's confines where the distance, the relationship of the viewer to the sculpture constantly incites the investigation of its 'objectness' in place and time.
Solange Fabiao was born in Rio de Janeiro where she studied Architecture and Set Design. From 1989 to 1994 she lived and studied in Berlin, Germany. Fabiao's work has been exhibited in Europe as well as in the U.S. including an exhibition in 2001 at the Paul Rogers Gallery in Chelsea, NYC. In 1997 she participated in the 47th Venice Biennial presenting the Internet project Cyberclone 2000 and the performance Sheep Dialog. She has conceptualized the lighting design for the Miami Heat Basketball Stadium, commissioned by Lobservatoire International titled Internal Sunrise. In 1999 Fabiao, in collaboration with Steven Holl Architects received honorable mention from the SAFA (the Finnish Association of Architects) for their competition project Xky Xcraper, in Vuosaari, Finland.
