Contrail: Solo Show by Genco GULAN

For the November event of the Bushwick In Time series, hosted by The Hollows and curated by Piril Gunduz, artist Genco Gulan is producing a new body of work entitled Contrails. Working from photographs of the Bushwick neighborhood, many of which feature the conspicuous presence of the elevated railway line, Gulan transfers the compositions onto paper with ink and pencil. Juxtaposed with the drawn renderings of neighborhood views are futuristic space ships meant to invoke the alien-like experience of living in Bushwick as a foreigner, or as someone experiencing its rapid urbanization or further more gentrification. In context to this Exhibition, Gulan will give an artist talk at the Soho House on 19th at 1900. The artist will talk about his new works, including the ones created with AI. The artist will also talk about the current technical possibility of Time travel for artworks in both directions: Future as well as past.
