HUGE IN LA: BPMW HOSTS GIANT ART INSTALLATION
IThe BPMW showroom in LA is now home to a fabulous new art istallation by local artist Ishi Glinsky’. The part-Native American designer’s collection is an experiment in medium-conscious gigantism, featuring oversized necklaces, shirt, and even a spray can. The very scale of the objects draws attention to the unique constructions and assorted materials used, including wood, bolts, screws, and cigarette butts alongside coral and antique whalebone. An interest in the interaction of size and construction is also evident in perhaps the most witty piece, an enormous button-down (hung, naturally, on an enormous wire hanger). We also love the unique collision of time and place evident in the collection – combining the work and perspectives of Ishi’s mother and grandmother, and raw material from their native Arizona and Ishi’s home base in downtown LA. Whether you consider this self-declared “collagist” to be an innovative jewelry designer or an artist, there’s no denying Ishi’s impact will be…well, huge. More pics after the jump. -KB
