For over three decades Daniel Rozin has been exploring the mechanisms of reflection. The artist utilizes custom software and mechanical engineering to examine a range of materials that reflect the viewer’s image in real-time. For his tenth exhibition at the gallery, Contours, the artist turns his focus to the outline of the human form.
Rozin’s works often invite true-to-image reflection. Exhibited works in Contours shift away from rich appearance and towards the tension of delineated borders. Modern masters such as Pablo Picasso and Keith Haring celebrated the tension between line and area, inside and out, by implementing silhouettes and abstraction. Rozin presents four new pieces that approach the minimal side of reflection through the diverse materials of lenses, straps, carbon fiber tubing, and light.
One Candle Mirror is a monumental installation situated in total darkness. The sculpture’s single light is diffused by 276 lenses positioned in front of the single candle. Each lens is articulated by a motor that rotates its focal direction “bending” the light to depict the viewer’s likeness while they move around the space. Rozin references the effect to that of a solar eclipse, citing the 1919 eclipse as a notable event that historically verified Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity bending light. Einstein’s theory was proven to be true by measures taken by Arthur Stanley Eddington during a total solar eclipse. In front of Rozin’s sculpture the viewer’s reflection is expressed as a silhouette made by the absence of light. In a nod to Keith Haring’s famously defined figures, Rozin plays with art historical archetypes through physical means.
RGB Lights Mirror employs color reflection and is the 25th piece in the artist’s Mechanical Mirrors series that began in 1999 with Wooden Mirror. RGB Lights Mirror returns to the idea of turning tiles towards a bright light to activate them as pixels in a physical image. The work is made from aluminum knobs that rotate to face red, green, or blue lights and become color pixels. The vivid lights, coupled with the glow of the aluminum knobs, result in a saturated display that looks deceptively like an LED screen or a projected image. Viewers standing in front of the piece see themselves in saturated color and full motion.
Rozin’s latest works, Contour Mirror and Straps Mirror, exemplify the artist’s analysis of form and outline. Contour Mirror is equipped with two columns of carbon fiber tubes. Contrasting yellow caps highlight the ends of each tube. When a viewer stands in front of the sculpture, all tubes respond in a choreography that aligns their yellow ends to portray the viewer’s outline. Straps Mirror continues Rozin’s investigation of constructing images by means of straight line objects. His exploration began in 2010 using wooden slats in the artwork X by Y and Twisted Strips (2012). This latest piece approaches straight lines through ribbons consisting of half white and half black straps that roll using custom mechanics. The work creates a high contrast image that investigates the contrast between monochromatic two dimensional areas and one dimensional lines.

Central Park is very fun. There are large lawns and many squirrels running around. You can rent bicycles and ride horse-drawn carriages in the park. It is also nice to just walk around. There is a huge children&#39;s playground not far from Columbus circle. Children from all over the world who come to New York come here to play. They can play in the sand and water, and there are slides, swings, and rockeries. It is easy to play for half a day. There are also many people playing on the lawn. Many people there like to throw frisbees. Many families come here for vacation. It doesn&#39;t get dark until about 8:30 in the summer in the United States, so it&#39;s no problem to play in the park for a whole day!

Very good Bronx Zoo, one of the must-see places in New York. I really like the facilities and garden design here. It is beautiful and friendly to watch. We didn&#39;t see many animals because it was raining.

Bryant Park

泰迪小熊

Came here on September 20, 2017.

Bryant Park is adjacent to the New York Public Library. It is named after the American naturalist poet William Cullen Bryant and is a public space covering one block.

In the middle of the park is a large square lawn; on the east side is a statue of Bryant, with his back against the New York Public Library, looking at the tourists in the park; on the west side of the lawn is a fountain; and around it are a circle of tables and chairs for tourists to relax and rest.

Perhaps because it is in a busy city and next to the library, there are quite a lot of tourists in the park, it is very lively and full of life.
