From NADA Art Fair: "The Message" by David Ellis and Roberto Lange

At the NADA Art Fair in Miami, Roebling Hall Gallery (New York, NY) exhibits a work by David Ellis who subtlety uses, interprets and investigates sound and music. In collaboration with Roberto Lange, Ellis gives birth to a new kinetic installation, “The Message”, which involves an analogue drum machine orchestrating an old typewriter, a paint bucket, a paint tray, glass bottles and a broken jar in a storage box. While playing the melody of the song, the typewriter also prints out the lyrics by DJ Grand Master Flash. (The work is sold for $22,000.)

Another kinetic installation, titled “Trash Talk” is now on display in "Ensemble" exhibition, curated by Christian Marclay, at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia.

Need a ride?

As Jeffrey Deitch argued at a panel discussion at Columbia University last month, art is becoming more and more integrated into the entertainment culture and daily life. At the Art Basel, Deitch Projects displays “Pimp Juice”, a 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood that is fully customized by Puerto Rican artist Dzine. The work, a part of "Barrio Dreams" project by the artist, features special chrome and 24-carat gold hydraulics, fourteen speakers and five screens showing a custom video.

“I like the ambiguity of it,” Jeffrey Deitch states, “Is it art or not? I always try to push it.”
