Katrin Sigurdardottir at the Met
Yesterday opened Katrin Sigurðardóttir an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. She has created two site-pecific sculptural installations for the Museum’s series of solo exhibitions featuring the work of contemporary artist at mid-career.
“Entitled Boiseries, installations are full-scale interpretations of eighteenth-century French rooms preserved at the Metropolitan Museum, one from the Hôtel de Crillon on the Place de la Concorde, Paris, and the other from the Hôtel de Cabris at Grasse in Provence.
Visitors will encounter one Boiserie as the exterior of an enclosed chamber. Lokking through one-way mirrors, they will be able to see inside the room that Katrin Sigurdardottir has created,furniture based on the Hôtel de Crillon period room.”
The exhibition will be open until 6th of March 2011.
