Marina Abramović – "The Energy Blanket"
The Marina Abramovic Energy Blanket by More Art offers a soothing and inspiring experience through the strategic placement of 14 magnets along the human body’s energy meridians.
Magnetic energy and therapy are centuries old. The magnet creates a magnetic field that energizes and oxygenates the blood. These magnets attract iron-rich blood – human cells also contain iron – and the charged ion particles in the blood are moved, creating heat. This constant heat helps increase blood flow, which in turn helps ease pain and enable the body to perform its natural healing process.
Magnetic therapy has long been used as an effective healing tool in China, India and Japan, and it is said that Cleopatra wore magnetic bracelets and necklaces for their healing powers. In Japan, magnetic therapy is officially recognized by the Ministry of Health; all across the East, magnets are commonly prescribed. Some 140 million people the world over use magnetic therapy to relieve pain, improve circulation, reduce swelling, minimize stiffness, and increase overall health and wellness.
Special edition of 100, printed blanket (78” h x 42” w, polyester), printed pouch, and 16 neodymium magnets (½” diameter, 2 extra magnets included).

Tony Oursler – "The Revolving Lamp"
Tony Oursler’s work is focused on the ideal fantasy world of teenagers today. By using imagery of the electronic world of TV and the Internet, he examines the effects of overloading young people with visual stimuli and how this generates an almost constant appetite for more.
Oursler’s piece, a revolving lamp, casts found footage from online gaming sites and youtube images over the faces of singing New York teenagers printed on its four outer panels. Clear circular spots on the surfaces allow the images to project also on the wall. The work explores the link between the coding of games and the simultaneously productive and destructive use of creative energy.
Tony Oursler is represented by Metro Pictures, NY, and has exhibited widely, from the Metropolitan Museum, NY, to the Musée de Orsay, Paris.
Acrylic, Stainless Steel, Printed Acetate, Paper. Limited edition of 50, 7” x 7” x 9”, 40 watt bulb, framed.

Angelo Filomeno – "Skull"
Angelo Filomeno’s work encompasses two- and three-dimensional realms and questions the traditional boundaries between fine and applied arts. The piece references an image from his Accident Drawing series created while he recovered from an accident in his native Puglia, Italy.
Using a signature visionary vocabulary rooted in his life, the work displays an animal skull section, with fangs, and is engraved into a thick block of transparent Plexiglas mounted on a black board. The black background creates depth and causes the ominous image engraved in the Plexiglas to lose its specific meaning and become a milky landscape or a lunar terrain.
Angelo Filomeno is represented by Galerie Lelong, NY, and was included in the last Venice Art Biennale.
Wall Sculpture, Artist-Selected Metal Frame. Limited edition of 30, 12″ x 12″, signed and framed.
Slater Bradley – "soundless pounding of accelerating dreams 05"
Slater Bradley’s work explores perceptions of self. By using both positive and negative Polaroid images, he examines the sometimes painful psychological developments of adolescents which reflect upon their perceived image, their slippery identity in constant flux, and which merges their present self with their memory, or doppelganger.
In these eight unique works, the positive image is hand-colored with gold, silver or red markers, creating a unified background from which a pre-teen girl emerges; the negative image reveals the background and tells the story which has been erased in the positive.
Slater Bradley is represented by Team Gallery, NY, and most notably has had solo shows at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and at the Berkeley Art Museum in Berkeley, CA.
Positive and negative Polaroid print, and golden marker, 8” x 19”, signed. Black wood frame with UV plexi.
