This work was commissioned for the Artis Shuk at NADA NYC, May 4-7, 2012.
FB = q v × B is a magnetic desk organizer. The desire to arrange a desktop is out of necessity. Office supplies come in quantities of 50, 500, or 1000 packs, but where can you buy one paper clip? And what are you going to do with the other 499? The work is a part of Cohen's new video project ZERO, which explores the physical forces of gravity and magnetism as a sculptural reality in his fragile paper-made sets, and as fictional forces in the construction of narratives.
Deville Cohen (b. 1977, Petach Tikva) currently lives and works in New York. He studied at the Weiseensee Kunsthochschule in Berlin and holds an M.F.A. from Bard College, New York (2010). His work has been exhibited at Louise B. James, New York (2011); Foxy Production, New York (2011); Marlborough Chelsea (2011); Braverman Gallery, Tel Aviv (2010); Recess, New York (2010); Greater New York, MoMA/PS1, New York (2010); The Company, Los Angeles (2010); Lesley Heller Workspace, New York (2010); Nowhere Gallery, Milan (2009); LAXART, Los Angeles (2009); tor111, Berlin (2008); and Living Art Museum, Reykjavik (2006). His recent video project POISON will be exhibited at SFMOMA in Summer 2012.
