ORFI nyc: live gig 2010

October 2 – 12 2010
Opening Reception: October 2nd, 7-10pm

Christian Brown, Don Hearn, Victor Littlejohn, Ana Gonzalez, and Annett Monheim of The Organization for Returning Fashion Interest* present MELODY AND MIND, a selection of paintings and furniture with a wall installation of posters, photos, postcards, and objets d’art. The furniture pieces and paintings are provocative, psychological forays into surrealism and abstraction. Meanwhile, a hypnotic landscape is created on the walls where the paintings meet with wall ephemera to evoke subconscious parallels in place and time. The gallery space is duly transformed into an imaginary attic that is poetic, contrary, and aspirational.

*ORFI NYC is a collaborative whose main focus is contemporary art and design and the creation and development of art presentation, including printmaking, painting, graphic design, fashion direction, installations and interiors. Projects have included curating, architecture, interiors, graphic design, sculpture, and painting.
