FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

​

En Foco, WallWorks NYC, and Judith Escalona present the solo exhibition, 

Phantasmachina - featuring Tricia McLaughlin on view at WallWorks NY 

April 6 – April 30, 2024 

​

BRONX, NEW YORK - En Foco, WALLWORKS NEW YORK, and Judith Escalona present Phantasmachina, an exhibition of works by Tricia McLaughlin, featuring a selection of drawings, paintings, and renditions of fabulous creatures in 3D animation, revealing the artist’s process. 

​

Venturing up to the Bronx, at WALLWORKS, mutant phantasmachina are hard at work constructing a world within our own that is strange yet oddly familiar, a microcosm inside a bigger beast. A unique set of phantasmachina will be on view as physical art at WALLWORKS NEW YORK Gallery in The Bronx, where visitors also have a chance to interact with the drawings and paintings through the QR codes that animate each work. Using their phones, visitors can experience the 3D animation of each phantasmachina that reveals their true nature through their actions. These are accidental or subconscious stories generated by the artist and visitors. We watch this phantasmachina as they watch us transform our environment, which continues to change us in ways similar to theirs. The cartoon-like creatures and bright Happyland colors deceptively betray the complexity of McLaughlin’s explorations that encourage viewers to think and experience art beyond its traditional boundaries. 

 

Phantasmachina is a companion exhibition to Life Forms which is being presented by Times Square Arts: A Midnight Moment Program, one of the world's largest and longest-running digital public art projects.
