A kinetic sculpture installation by Gregory James, opening at the Ideal Glass Glass Gallery on East Second Street in the East Village on Thursday. Looks pretty wacky if you can navigate the annoying Flash website.

Babel Code : osmotic transmissions, Art from the minds of AVOID & Infinity – details
# Location: Mighty Tanaka Studio in D.U.M.B.O
# Duration: May 21st – Jun 11th, 2010
# Cost: FREE
# Contact: Mighty Tanaka , alex@mightytanaka.com

Thought provoking Street Artists AVOID pi & infinity team up for their first duo show together entitled Babel Code. Peering through a semiotic Petri dish intermixed with sub-conscious communication, Babel Code uses primitive and mystical sources as well as runic references, which charges the works of art with a power and energy beyond the objects themselves.

Babel Code challenges the viewer to reconsider the basic notions of communication and cultural change, while providing a closer look into the artist’s own techniques of non-verbal interactions. Building upon a symbolic language shared by both artists, their influences range from a resonance of mixed signals and errant transmissions.

Their symbolism ranges from introverted Platonic deliberation and chemical structures to numerology and DNA; anything and everything from hobo marks and astronomy to grammar diagrams and physics equations.

Here’s a piece by Elbow Toe that will be in the show:

Interview: Elbow-Toe Hits Up Streets of London

Update August 5: This Dan Witz piece was a definite favorite. Each face was done with the care of a portrait.

And it gathered an appropriate amount of awe from the crowd.

A detail. Oil and mixed media on canvas.
