"Geometric Properties" by Dutch Artist Julius Horsthuis Opens at Artechouse in NYC
By Kristie Garrell
Remember the first time you used a kaleidoscope as a child? Looking into a paper tube, simple pebbles in primary colors mysteriously become self-reflecting patterns of color and light. Dutch artist Julius Horsthuis drew upon similar mathematical principles, specifically fractals, for his audiovisual installation "Geometric Properties" at Artechouse in New York. In the former home of Chelsea Market's boiler room, 17 projectors and booming audio transform the raw, empty space into a seemingly endless journey through an alternate universe.
