MY MODERN MET HIGHLIGHTS HOTTEA’S SCOPE INSTALLATION

Artist Eric Rieger, also known as HOTTEA  whose installations have stunned the attendees of visitors to our exhibitions at the Long Beach Museum of Art and the Lancaster Museum of Art and History, grabbed the title of one of 2018’s best art installations by My Modern Met. His installation in the entrance of the Scope Art Fair in Miami this past December was vast and jaw-dropping.

He shared his inspiration for the installation with the publication, “Even though we may take things for granted, once they are gone we wish we would have acted differently. Our sun, rain, wind, plants, animals, people, everything could disappear in seconds and when they do it is our memory of them that will carry on assuming there is something beyond our existence here on earth. What I hope people took away from my installation was not only a color experience they will not forget but also a reminder of how much a singular moment can mean.”

To see all the installations selected for this year-end review visit the My Modern Met website.

 

HEAVY DREAMERS with Nosego and Hot Tea

This beautiful short film ‘Heavy Dreamers’  from Jeff Hamada interviews several artists who were invited to create murals and installations at Pow! Wow! Hawaii. Nosego, who’s solo exhibition Along Infinite River opens Saturday July 18 at Thinkspace Gallery, can be seen towards the end of the video. Also, one can see the various manifestations of Hot Tea’s work that are as equally incredible as his installation down at the Long Beach Museum of Art for “Vitality and Verve: Transforming The Urban Landscape.” Don’t miss out on Nosego’s opening Saturday and when visiting the Long Beach Museum of Art, explore the surrounding area to discover James Jean’s Pow! Wow! Long Beach mural.
