In February I took a day trip to Oklahoma City and visited the art museum while I was there. As part of their "New Frontiers: Series of Contemporary Art" installation, New York-based artist Jason Peters was presenting the current exhibit. I had never heard of him, but I was immediately interested in what he does. Luckily they allowed photography, but the photos struggle to capture how cool the exhibit was:
So basically this guy uses ready-made objects (like chairs and buckets) and assembles them into giant, complex forms usually suspended from the ceiling. He used large mirrors for several pieces and activated space - creating illusions of holes or that the rooms were bigger than they appeared. It was an awesome exhibit and will be up until April 11th. Go check it out of you get a chance!
