I Heart New York

In January 2013 artist Juan Bolivar travelled to New York to witness Inventing Abstraction, 1910-1925; a survey of the birth of the abstract movement staged at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).

For I Heart New York, Bolivar fuses personal encounters with New York city filtered through the imagery of paintings from this exhibition. He uses Inventing Abstraction, 1910-1925as a starting point for a new body of work made in response to this trip: iconic landmarks such as Broadway and Wall Street are reinterpreted through the schemas of Piet Mondrian and Sophie Taeuber-Arp, becoming an intimate travelog of the artist’s first visit, and quasi-pilgrimage, to New York.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication with an introductory text by Graham Crowley.
