Isn’t this a powerful exhibit? Do Ho Suh created Floor, which currently can be seen at the Lehmann Maupin Gallery. Considering the trials and tribulations that we all go through in life, at times this is probably how most of us feel. And the first image does have a distinct 1% vs 99% flavor, doesn’t it? From far away, the image is powerful because we see the mass, but it doesn’t impact us on an emotional level because the detail is missing. It’s not until we look close up and see the individual faces as they strain to hold up their “world”.
These types of exhibits have been around since we first started creating, and yet the conversation they represent only seems to be looked at and talked about superficially. This lack of engagement has led to many troubling events that have changed the course of our future prosperity. Our current times are finally seeing a change happening, where we are gathering together to speak about issues that are difficult, deep, and distorted. This path is a good path, and a right path, and a path that will finally lead to the one thing that we all need…HOPE.
