As part of the first edition of Silicon Valley Contemporary, Marianne Boesky Gallery will present Bird (2011), an example of Dutch artist Jacco Olivier‘s hybrid painting-videos from April 10-13, 2014. Originally presented on a monitor suspended from a tree as part of the artist’s 2012 exhibition in Madison Square Park, New York, this work depicts a variety of birds in flight. With each flap of their wings, the birds’ brightly painted feathers transmute through the spectrum underscoring the presence of the artist’s hand.
