Claudia Chaseling, mutopia 2 is at 310W!

This is Chaseling’s first permanent spatial painting, a site-responsive work that draws on and incorporates the architecture of the space, and Art-in-Buildings’ first commissioned art installation in the building. 

Chaseling’s spatial paintings play with the audience’s perception of the architecture of their environment through the application of playful lines, bright, abstracted forms, and reflective aluminum sheets. In mutopia 2, swathes of colors cover the walls and ceiling, creating distorted landscapes and biomorphic shapes. The beautiful convergence of the artist’s forms, however, masks the pernicious nature of her subject matter. Chaseling’s abstracted imagery presents a potential “mutopian future,” one impacted by the long-term effects of depleted uranium, an invisible and inexorable environmental contaminant that is a byproduct of nuclear power and nuclear weapons technology. Her forms reference imagined mutated landscapes, plants, and creatures transfigured over generations of exposure to gamma radiation. Interspersed with these abstracted forms, the artist embeds information about depleted uranium production and munitions in the US, an unseen but persistent threat. Chaseling’s work is a neon warning of apocalyptic destruction, radioactive mutation, and environmental decay, but it is also a glowing beacon of hope – hope for a call to action, for a cleaner future, for rebirth, for a path to beauty in darkness’ midst.

Hello! I got a letter from Claudia Chaseling, one of the X-Border artists exhibiting in Rovaniemi. The letter contained a DVD with Claudia's video work that tells the story of Murphy the mutant, a child born with deformities. This video was part of Claudia Chaselings' spatial painting + 2 screen video installation "Murphy the Mutant", presented in X-Border Art Biennial in Gallery Valo, Rovaniemi.  Here you can see the story again. How far is the story from reality? 

For more information, watch here Claudia Chaselings' artist interview in which she talks about her work "Murphy the Mutant". 

The bests, Pilvi

"Murphy is a child born with deformities. In the region where he was born, radioactive weapons were used prior his birth. Immune to radioactivity, Murphy is one of several survivors from a third world war. Martians see Murphy lonely on a devastated planet. They decide to give Murphy his shadow as company. The shadow, however, likes to do things differently from Murphy himself. The shadow and Murphy have brutal fights until they both realise that they need each other. During this process, they meet many other mutants—deformed fish, moths, rabbits, turtles, and so on. On their walk through the desert, Murphy and his shadow meet a cosmonaut. It is none other than Major Tom, who survived in outer space because the Martians rescued him. Major Tom gives Murphy and his shadow an overview of the entire population of Murphies on earth."

SUMMER HAZE

You know those perfect summer days when everything feels right with the world, when you wouldn’t change a thing and you imagine that Lou Reed song, “Perfect Day,” playing softly in the background? For Gallery Molly Krom’s first show at 53 Stanton Street, three artists were asked to look through their rose-colored sunglasses and reflect on that transient state of happiness. Opening tonight, “Summer Haze” presents works by New York-based artists Francois Ilnseher and Joe Kupillas and Berlin-based artist Claudia Chaseling. The results are a beautifully hazy shade of summer.

Come by Art-in-Buildings' 55 5th Ave exhibition space to see the amazing Claudia Chaseling's spatial painting Radiationscape, only on view through March!

Chaseling's spatial paintings are an eruption of colors and sweeping abstract gestures that reach for the limits of a space, crawling around corners and oozing onto the floor. She complements the wall paintings with tighter, more detailed abstractions on stretched ovoid canvases, and highly reflective aluminum floor coverings that reflect, multiply, and warp the installation above. The ovoid paintings feature references to landscapes and aerial maps overlaid with fragments of texts and url codes, which hint at the work's content without giving away its secrets. Chaseling's appealing bright colors and shiny surfaces function as a Trojan Horse to deploy serious content: for years, Chaseling has been researching and making work about the invisible destructive forces of radioactive contamination, primarily as it results from the US and NATO's use of depleted uranium munitions for over two decades in the Balkans, Persian Gulf, and Afghanistan.

For Radiationscape, Chaseling expands her artistic inquiry to include the intertwined industries of uranium mining, nuclear power, and continued military use of depleted uranium weapons. In particular, Chaseling explores the problematics of Indian Point Energy Center, the nuclear power plant located on the Hudson River just 36 miles north of Midtown Manhattan, which is slated for decommission in 2021 following decades of safety issues and leaks. The contamination from nuclear industries threatens the health, safety, and environment of communities worldwide. It is not a far flung problem, but one that hits squarely close to New York City. Chaseling's seductive work ensnares the viewer, forcing us to consider these invisible threats and their implications.

Have you seen Claudia Chaseling: Radiationscape yet?? Come by Art-in-Buildings' 55 5th Ave lobby exhibition space to see it in person!

Berlin-based Claudia Chaseling will produce a spatial painting, a site-responsive painting installation that relies on the architecture and site-lines of a particular space. It will be the first of Chaseling's immersive large-scale works to be presented in Manhattan.

Chaseling's spatial paintings are an eruption of colors and sweeping abstract gestures that reach for the limits of a space, crawling around corners and oozing onto the floor. She complements the wall paintings with tighter, more detailed abstractions on stretched ovoid canvases, and highly reflective aluminum floor coverings that reflect, multiply, and warp the installation above.

Chaseling's appealing bright colors and shiny surfaces function as a Trojan Horse to deploy serious content: for years, Chaseling has been researching and making work about the invisible destructive forces of  radioactive contamination, primarily as it results from the US and #NATO's use of depleted uranium munitions for over two decades in the Balkans, Persian Gulf, and Afghanistan.
