November 04, 2005 — January 28, 2005
18 Wooster Street, New York

Deitch Projects is pleased to present Hypnogoogia, a collaborative installation by Jim Drain and Ara Peterson. In this incredible cumulative show, 18 Wooster St. will be transformed into an interactive, spinning landscape- a psychedelic music of the spheres- featuring work produced by the artists over the past two years.

Moving through corridors of rainbow pinwheels, a huge kaleidoscope hallway, and four exactingly gorgeous geodesic sphere-shaped paintings rotating slowly on the ground and ceiling, the viewer becomes immersed in their lyrical, spherical environment. Hypnotically spinning on the first platform is a twelve-foot rainbow ottoman, and above, a video feed throwing the spinning participants on the wall upstairs.

A live performance by SONIC BOOM took place in the gallery on November 9.
