NYC Gallery Hosts Internet Only Exhibits

In the past year or two we’ve seen both magazines and books move to an electronic format — but now, a gallery in the Chelsea art district of NYC is taking a large portion of their collection online. Called “The Project Room” and located at dinterfineart.com, the site showcases works which can only be seen online and are available for two months before they are archived on the Gallery’s website. This allows Dinter to showcase new and emerging artists while still being able to dedicate their main space to larger scale works. Dinter Fine Art has hosted a “Project Room” on it’s website since March 2004, the first “project room” featuring a collaboration between Brian Belott and Taylor McKimens, titled “Lost & Found”. You can visit “previous projects” for all archived editions.

NYC Hotel Creates Elevator to Heaven & Hell

In a new video installation for The Standard Hotel in NYC, artist Marco Brambilia (director of Demolition Man) and Toronto based studio Crush have created a moving mural inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy which utilizes over 400 video sources, including samples from several films. The installation has been placed in one of The Standard’s elevators and when guests look through a viewport it simulates an ascension to heaven or, if you’re on your way to the street, your descent to hell.
