LOCKDOWN has led to a wholesale change in how art is created, experienced and consumed and the SO⅃OS series at New York’s Fridman Gallery is as good an example as any.
Reflecting New York’s shelter-in-place guidelines, only the performer is present in the room and the space itself is the viewer.
Over 12 weekly shows inside the empty gallery, each performer makes the space their own, whether with glitch pop from Victoria Keddle, C Lavender’s Impulse Chamber or Diamanda Galas’s sound work Broken Gargoyles.
