A365 & JAG Projects Presents BOBO: Flavors Of The Shadow Opening Reception Friday May 9th, 6-10:30 PM Open Hours Thursday May 8th - 11th, 12pm-6pm 365 Canal St. 5th Floor, NYC, NY
A365 and JAG Projects presents: Bobo, Flavors of the Shadow. A sensory experience and personality assessment that explores the hidden aspects of the shadow self through taste. At the heart of this device is a flavor dispenser that creates and delivers scrumptious flavor profiles based on dream analysis and the shadow work of Tobias Zestwell. The device uses Tobias’ dream data to craft complex taste sensations, specifically tuned to match his deep subconscious. The generated flavor liquids are dispensed via 6 nozzles pointed directed onto the main screen of the device, where they can be tasted directly onscreen delivering an enriching sensory experience that taps into the shadow self. After users complete this full course menu of flavor, tastings, they get breathalyzed, and then, given a complete personalized psychological assessment of their shadow self. By challenging rigid and long-held sensory anchors while breaking traditional sensory norms, participants release their suppressed selves and encourage a more flexible open-mindedness towards experiencing new flavors. Some of these flavors may be exactly what they seem, while others may carry the deep intrigue of a placebo providing heightened introspection.
Bobo is comprised of a group of artists and designers. Their projects in sculpture often integrate interactive tech mediums. While their work in performance is musically driven while incorporating costumes and props. The themes in Bobo’s work gravitate around the experience of living through an oversaturation of technology and identity medias. Employing tools from entertainment industries such as graphic design, interactive digital interface, amusement parks and experiential theatre. Their most recent solo exhibition was at O'Flatery's, NYC, while their work and performance has been included in galleries as well as museum collections In the US. Bobo’s principal members are Andrew Gillespie, Benjamin Phelan, Phil Cote and Nick Payne. Based between NYC and the Hudson Valley. This show is organized by JAG Projects, run by artist / curator Jesse Aran Greenberg

A365 and JAG Projects is pleased to present a selection of glass and ceramic works by Patrick Carlin Mohundro. “The way I typically talk about the paintings is that they are more formal investigations of painting and abstraction. Porcelain is pretending to be canvas, stained glass functions as paint. The large swatches of glass allow it to sort of ‘just be’ or be appreciated for its formal qualities not unlike paint: its relationship to color, unique textures and patterns, and the spectrum of transparencies or opacities of different stained glass. There is a direct link to paint in that way. The rest is chance and randomness. My canvases often break and I fit the glass to fill in the void. While working, things inevitably go wrong and the glass breaks. So, I replace that void with another color or type of glass. The result is some sort of organic abstraction constructed through rupture, disappointment and the beauty of materials-particularly ones that have a unique relation to light.” Patrick Carlin Mohundro has been running P .A.D. [Project Art Distribution] in New York City since 2017, and is a member of Essex Flowers.
