On view in Flatiron Plaza through November 6, don't miss Tomokazu Matsuyama's sculpture "Dancer" (2022), presented by @kavigupta_ as part of Armory Off-Site.
Laser-cut patterns in polished steel shimmer in and out of sight as viewers move around the pieces, with the broad flat facets being nearly paper-thin amid the weighty "outlines" defining their boundaries.
The mirror polish is a means of activating the surfaces. The piece’s own patterns reflect across each other, complicating their reading, and almost serving as an optical metaphor for Matsuyama’s vision of cultural exchange. The effect extends beyond the piece as its surfaces take on the colors of its environment.
Presented in partnership with the Flatiron NoMad Partnership and Department of Transportation's Art Program (DOT Art).
