Audience interaction is key to activating Spanish/Argentinian artist Felipe Pantone’s optically sizzling sculpture, so how will viewers engage his latest work? Though Pantone’s current exhibition at Chelsea’s albertz benda gallery won’t involve touching the work (and is even titled ‘Contactless’), Pantone has created an online exhibition that allows manipulation of this patterned, pixelated grid and other sculptures in the show. If not quite as satisfying as interacting with the art in person, the digital component is still a huge boost and worth checking out. Visitors who are hooked can download Pantone’s interactive app @configurableart for more optical play. (On view through August 28th. Appointments are not necessary, masks are required and guests must sign a Covid release and submit contact info.)
