Go See: Lozano-Hemmer’s Pulse Park @ Madison Square Park till Nov 19th
Author: ArtsyFerret

Pulse Park is the US debut of artist Rafeal Lozeana-Hermmer’s interactive work. His interactive light installation can be seen from dusk till 10pm. The artist specifically chose winter, as the sun would set earlier and people would be able to view it for a longer period of time. The installation allows viewers to have their systolic and diastolic heart rates measured by one of two sensor sculptures installed at the North and South ends of the Oval Lawn. The heart rates are then translated into beams of light that pulse throughout the lawn. Its rather interesting to see how your heart beat is turned into lights for everyone around to see. Whether you’re heart is racing or just calm and collected, everyone seems to be different.

Chanel has landed in Central Park. Rumsey Field in Central Park will host the Chanel Mobile Art exhibit until Nov 9th. No there is no #5 samples given out, just a portable pavilion designed by Zaha Hadid that houses the creative interpretations of what a chanel bag means to a selected group of artists. Selected by Karl Lagerfield, these pieces are on display for free. The only thing that it does require is your time to stand on line and wait. Chanel is never cheap.

Roger Shimomura, American Infamy #3 (2008) via Flomenhaft Gallery
From May 8 to June 28, the Flomenhaft Gallery in Chelsea presents the work of Roger Shimorura. A mix of pop art and ukiyo-e prints, this exhibit depicts the years the artist was imprisoned in an internment camp here in the US. A dark period of American history, where the US government unjustly and systematically rounded up those of Japanese descent and shipped them to internment camps. Oddly enough, the US was fighting the Nazi’s and what they were doing to the Jews, and yet doing the same.
