Martha Atienza’s Midnight Moment Our Islands. Photo by JF
Times Square Arts, Silverlens, and artist Martha Atienza hosted a VIP reception of Midnight Moment: Our Islands yesterday Thursday, July 11th at See No Evil. The Filipina artist has been on the rise–she was the inaugural show for the launch of Silverlens’ New York gallery and won the Baloise Art Prize in Art Basel for Our Islands. This is her first Midnight Moment, displayed on over 90 screens in Times Square.
The acclaimed video work Our Islands 11°16’58.4” N 123°45’07.0”E by Dutch-Filipino artist Martha Atienza takes the form of a dreamlike underwater rendition of a parade originating from the artist’s native Philippines and illuminates the artist’s acclaimed practice which documents and interrogates pressing issues surrounding both community and the environment.
After drinks and eats inside the Downtown-Bound 1 Train 50th St Subway Station at the See No Evil Pizza, everyone headed over to the Red Steps on Duffy Square for a special viewing experience of Our Islands from 11:57 pm to 12 am, when the Square becomes silent for three minutes.
