New York, NY – The first new art exhibit of 2025, Machine Dazzle debuted Obsession and Evidence, on January 1st at the Gallery AP Space in Chelsea.
The exhibition, running through January 15th, explores themes of transformation, environmental impact, and material culture through a collection of sculptures and AI-generated images. Obsession and Evidence presents sculptures crafted from recycled materials, reimagining discarded objects as fossilized artifacts. The pieces highlight the role of waste in modern life and its unintended integration into the natural world. Complementing the sculptures are AI-generated visuals that depict artificial materials as organic forms, encouraging us to reconsider the relationship between the synthetic and the natural. The opening day included a parade down 25th street, led by Machine Dazzle, featuring huge bundles of balloons and masks that were installed in the gallery.
Barbara Tober hosted a lunch for 80 guests, celebrating the occasion with distinguished guests, such as Taylor Mac, Justin Vivian Bond, Carrie Rebora Barratt, Gillian McCain, Dusty Childers, Ben Rodriguez–Cubenas, RoseLee Goldberg and Dakota Jackson, Jackie Hoffman, Sharon King Hoge, Elbrun and Peter Kimmelman, Phoebe Legere, Helen Little, Daphne Merkin, Nicole Miller and Kim Taipale, Cay Sophie Rabinowitz and Christian Rattemeyer, Michael Sylvan Robinson, Tim Rogers, Marc Rosen, Pamela Willoughby, and Lynn Yager. Gallery owner, Jean Park, warmly welcomed the many guests.
