Doors of Perception
Like most New Yorkers, I'm admittedly obsessed with real estate. If there's a hole in a fence, I'll peek through it. If I spy an open door or window, I'll slow down to take in the view. Seriously, who isn't curious about how the other 8 million New Yorkers live?!
Since Dan Witz started putting up his latest series of grates and windows, I've found myself looking at real estate in an entirely new way. In the past, I would have ignored a window while scanning a door for stickers and tags, but now I constantly have to remind myself to pay attention to the entire door. Service grates and exhausts on buildings are so ubiquitous, it's easy to habitually overlook them. Dan's pieces blend so well, they're easy to miss! Learning to spot them has become a good exercise in being more aware of my surroundings.
Lucky Angelenos will be treated to the entire Dark Doings series when Dan's solo show opens at the Carmichael Gallery on November 5th, 2009.
