MELA Foundation Dream House

275 Church Street, New York

Dream House, a collaborative Sound and Light Environment, is presented in an extended exhibition by La Monte Young, Marian Zazeela and Jung Hee Choi at MELA Foundation, 275 Church Street, 3rd Floor. The long-term Dream House exhibition opened in Fall 1993; it will continue for this season through June 21, 2026. The environment is open Wednesday through Saturday, from 2 pm to 10 pm. Admission is $10.00.

Choi presents two light works in an evolving configuration. The main gallery hosts her Light Point Drawings Nos. 28 and 29 with still lights. In the East Gallery, she presents Color (Abyss/Twitch): live realization v.3. This piece offers multiple modalities of a single property, signifying the phenomenology of experience in constructing a sense of reality. The composed video element combined with the Twitch live feed is projected onto a reflective wall and onto a fleeting smoke released by burning incense. The incomplete and fragmented projections over the incense smoke deconstruct the representational construction of the livestream, apparently conveying no perceivable information, meaning, or objective basis for intrinsic value. Although the smoke causes the superimposed image to constantly change and transform, occasionally an observable image or crawling subtitle transiently suspended on the smoke can evoke an epiphany of the meaning of reality.
