BEN MOON Exhibit At 366 Fifth Avenue Launches to Celebrate Integration of Art and Commerce
Artist Ben Moon Collaborates With The Building Art Curatorial Program on "The Evolution of Ideas"
Artist Ben Moon has been selected as the featured artist in the lobby of 366 Fifth Avenue, a prestigious location opposite the Empire State Building. His collaboration with the Building Art Curatorial Program (BACP) marks a bold statement in integrating art with the bustling commercial environment of Fifth Avenue.
Lobby Exhibit at 366 Fifth Avenue Launched on Monday, May 4, 2015
The exhibition, which opened during the onset of Market Week, showcases a compelling selection of Moon's mixed media pieces. Notable within the exhibit are three art panels known as the "Horizon Triptych" which form a captivating visual narrative along the lobby's back wall.
Curatorial Insight from Cindy Farkas Glanzrock
Cindy Farkas Glanzrock, President of BACP and curator of the exhibit, encapsulates the essence of New York City as a "melting pot of culture, commerce, and creativity." Glanzrock's curatorial vision is designed to weave together the history and future of trends in a presentation she terms "Nexus." This melding of aesthetics takes into account the accessory companies within the building, creating a synergy between real estate, art, and the fashion industry.
Ben Moon's Artistic Journey and "Nexus"
Throughout his global exhibitions, Ben Moon has been influenced by a myriad of cultures and ideas. The use of collage and found objects represent discoveries from his extensive travels. His art symbolically conveys the collective memories and beliefs shaping our reality. Moon's "mosaic" painting style and black & white drawings embody this philosophy, aiming to guide the viewer through an evolving story within the space of the lobby.
