Daniel Canogar in ‘Summer 2017’ at Bitforms

Real time seismic activity interrupts the shifting abstract patterns on Daniel Canogar’s curving panels, merging art and distant, powerful forces. Peeling off the wall on flexible LED tiles arranged on an armature, ‘Echo’ strains for our attention and gets it. (At Bitforms on the Lower East Side through July 30th).

Daniel Canogar, Echo, from the series Echo, flexible LED tiles, power supply unit, media player, LED screen hardware, 129.5 x 96.5 x 25.4cm, 2016.
