Bea Fremderman, "Weeds Compared to Flowers," 2023,
Along the shore of Dead Horse Bay in Brooklyn, New York, the tides slowly expose the contents of closed landfills. Depression-era glass, soles of shoes, and conglomerations of inorganic and organic materials litter the coastal zone.
Upon her first visit to Dead Horse Bay, Fremderman described the site as the most apocalyptic landscape she had ever experienced. Once a hub for rendering dead horses and for industrial and urban waste processing, storage, and incineration, the area became renowned for its putrefaction. Today, sections are closed due to chemical pollutants and radioactive contamination.
Fremderman imagines the personas of those who may have used the detritus she collects. After a deep cleaning process, she assembles her gatherings in a technique like that used to make stained-glass windows.
Lit from within, the amoeba-like forms guide visitors through the gallery. Upon closer inspection stems of goblets, electronic chips, and pieces of dinnerware can be identified within the assemblages. The textures, colors, and shapes emanating from the sculptures result in an immersive installation.
The work hopes to offer a link to place — in this case, a landscape where the human footprint contorts and is contorted by the environment. Through the re-presentation and re-purposing of waste, Weeds Compared to Flowers intends to visualize human interconnection with disposable objects, the Earth, and an unknowable future.

TeamLab “Resonating Life which Continues to Stand”
Tamar Park, Hong Kong,
The resonating ovoids continue to stand wherever they are. The ovoids continue to stand even if they are pushed over by waves, blown by the wind, or pushed by people. When an ovoid is pushed over, it rises back up on its own and shines brightly as it produces a tone. The light and tone continues to resonate out to other ovoids and trees nearby.
If a wave of light comes from afar, it signifies the presence of people, waves, or wind there. People gain a heightened sense of awareness of the existence of other people in the same space and the environment.
When it is quiet and the wind is not blowing and the people nearby are not interacting with the ovoids, their lights begin to flicker slowly.
On view until June 2
