Dan Witz – Dark Doings

Street Art Installations

Introduction

“Dark Doings” is a street art series by Dan Witz, which shows imprisoned people through fake-window installations. The Carmichael Gallery will present his recent artworks...

Next month, urban intervention artist Dan Witz will have his new solo-exhibition, called “Dark Doings”, at the Carmichael Gallery of Contemporary Art.

The artworks which will be presented are small window-imitations, which show in a very realistic way people, who are imprisoned. Dan placed these mixed media installations on doors all over New York City in the last weeks. If you pass by one of his “Dark Doings”, you guess that the person is right behind the door!

I don’t know the intention behind these very scary artworks series, but somehow I like it! Dan did a nice job and I’m interested in seeing how he will transport the crazy character, the installations have in the urban, public space, into the gallery.

The exhibition runs from November 5th to December 3rd, 2009. The gallery is open Tuesday through Sunday 1:00pm – 7:00pm. For more info about Dan Witz, visit danwitzstreetart.com.
