anonymous gallery is extremely pleased to present its inaugural exhibition titled PLAF: Autonomous Mechanisms, an ambitious collaborative public art project and exhibition created by Eltono and MOMO. Plaf is a word for splash in both Spanish and French and relates to the on-going project that features kinetic sculptures that have been placed and fastened in several locations in the New York Waterways. Constructed from used materials, the work will be left to the elements as a way to explore the force and power of water that goes unused and unnoticed in New York City. Using the rivers water, wind, tides, and currents, the sculptures will shift and decay, leaving the work just as it is without comment on form or representation.
September 1st anonymous gallery will be providing an information booth and map created by the artists. The public can then go search and find the on-going outdoor artwork and share in the environment in which it is presented.
The New York City environment will do the final arranging (and dismantling) of these kinetic installations, as such, the artists have created “Autonomous Mechanisms” that can function by themselves, beyond control; a spectacle of chance.
