It could be a Sunday school project gone wrong, but
it is also Frank Haine’s installation at LOCUST
PROJECTS, Crustacean in the Hall of Furies. Haines
has transformed the space into a narrative mural/world
exclusively made out of over 50 different kinds of hyper
saturated acrylic felt. Haines has taken the craft practice
of the felt banner, used as learning aids in schools
and churches, and has turned it into an environment
that is equal parts sensorial overload chamber and epic
narrative mural. The storyline involves knights and
vikings, devils and cementeries, skulls and stars. It
even has a small Hell alcove. The piece is influenced
by and borrows heavily from Medieval sources, especially
the Bayeaux tapestry. It also employs imagery from Jack
Chick’s comics, Heronymous Bosch’s tweaked
out visionary paintings, Henri Rousseau, the Christian
imagination in general, and Vipassana meditation. Crustacean
in the Hall of Furies blends historical and the
imaginative into delirious narrative sequence.
In the project room, Orly Genger will present one of
her giant woven sculptures. Large enough to insinuate
an abstracted landscape and constructed out of elastic
strapping, metallic ribbon, and yarn, Genger’s
Ready You Are Almost There is rich in textures
and weird forms.
