Giverny at The Hole

In 2010 E.V. Day was awarded the Munn Artists Residency, where she lived on Monet's estate in Giverny France.  While there Day worked with Kembra Pfahler to create the photographs of Kembra in one of her signature sculptural costumes, nude but fully painted bright red with a fantastic mop of black hair.  The photos adorn the walls of the installation that opened at the Hole on the Bowery on March 30th.  The installation itself is a recreation of the well know landscape made famous by Monet and his painterly Waterlilies.  I kind of see this show as metaphor for the LES (Lower East Side): a fabricated beauty thats just a bit off perhaps do to what is at its core: a fiery red women some place between goddess and demon.
