Installation By MOS at PS1 for this Summer
We all know about PS1’s yearly summer installations with music, drinks and good fun gathering. But It hasn’t been so fresh or new for the past many years. It’s maybe way too crowded and the most of all, the installations were just O.K.
But I ‘m really loving this year’s winner, MOS’s great work. The whole structure and especially the texture of it greatly reminds me of grand mammoths. I’m not sure if MOS ever had thought of mammoth in this, but I just see them crossing over each other.
MOS project is entitled Afterparty, a design that Micheal Meredith and Hilary Sample (MOS partners) say is meant to reflect current economic situation, by using basic materials. The main structure is a lightweight aluminum frame using recyclable parts which require minimal assembly, which will become a landmark for the neighborhood – all this on a USD$70,000 budget.
