For Flyweight miniature project space Irini Miga presents An Interval, a scaled-down exhibition scene caught in an ambiguous process of making or unmaking. Composed of utilitarian objects such as a ladder, a nail, and a hammer, Miga imagines this intimate gallery in a moment of pause offering the viewer a space for contemplation. The otherwise empty room is filled with the sound of a love piece – “Requiem” – a 1791 commissioned composition written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to commemorate a death, and a piece that remained unfinished due to the composer’s death.
An Interval will be on view in New York for a few days; a duration parallel to numerous art fairs bringing together countless local and international galleries showcasing artworks from around the world this period each year — even when there is an outbreak of a pandemic.
