chashama is pleased to present the first exhibition of installation work by James Lipovac at 266 W. 37th Street in conjunction with SCOPE NYC 2014 Art Fair. 

I got a lump in my throat from letting you in my mind  is an installation of a fractured dreamscape that portrays a colorful dystopia. Mountain vistas open up to become physiological escape bunkers reminiscent of a child’s fort. The work touches on ideas of community, human contrition, and loss through a textured experience of sculpted space and homemade ASMR videos immersed in a mixed media environment. The work expresses Lipovac's continuing interest in how outdated technologies and ideals help us better understand our discordant relationship to the natural world. In this current exhibition, Lipovac has constructed a mountain landscape populated by crude mock-ups of defunct technologies and whimsical constructions of natural forms created from materials uncovered along the East River. The result is a transformative visual display one must physically move through to experience.
