Claire Morgan’s ‘Fluid’ installation features rotting strawberries and a taxidermied crow who has fallen to his death. And yes- these are real strawberries. Many interesting things going on in this piece, including the uses of movement and scale.
The art of Michael Murphy first caught our eye a couple years back when he participated in the Manifest Hope art shows in Denver and Washington D.C. The artist’s multi-dimensional works engage the viewer with a transformative perspective, however it’s not just tricks of the eye that he’s known for. From sound installations utilizing pools of water and live cellos to the incorporation of shadows as shading, Murphy’s ability to think outside the box, and his technical skill to bring the concepts to fruition, make his work a fun, imaginative and accessible experience. The artist’s latest solo show, ‘Look,’ just ended at New York City’s Gallery Nine 5, get a look at several of our favorite selections from the exhibit below.
“The Debacle” is an installation piece by Andrée-Anne Dupuis-Bourret that resembles a landscape, created from small triangular shapes covered in scribbles.

“Viewers are supposed to choose a ribbon, tie it round their wrist, and write down their own wishes on slips of paper to replace it. When the ribbon falls off, the wish comes true. I took a whole bunch of ribbons that day, stuffed them all in my pockets so I could save my wishes for later. I wrote down some silly lines and left them on the wall, read the wishes of strangers and peeked over people’s shoulders trying to see which ribbon they chose.
I Wish Your Wish was the first piece of conceptual art that really moved me. There is something so intimately beautiful in wishing – to wish is to place your trust in the great perhaps, and to wear them on your wrist is to wear your heart on your sleeve.” -TheJuvenilia
