Helen Oliver Adelson, The Lunar Landing. Installation view
PARTICIPANT INC is proud to present The Lunar Landing, a site-specific installation of wall paintings, incorporating sculptural elements and discreet paintings by Helen Oliver Adelson (HOA). For The Lunar Landing, HOA transforms PARTICIPANT into a huge dollhouse, painting expansive interiors and adjacent scenery adorned by approximately thirty works in painting and sculpture – many of cats, landscapes, architecture. Well-known as a portrait painter and set designer integral to art and theater of the ‘80s East Village/Lower East Side, The Lunar Landing reflects that experience, and is the first time HOA will create an installation in which the spectator becomes a character in an unfolding theatrical set.
