Currently on view at House of Gaga, Amsterdam is “Black Is the New Orange,” a solo exhibition by Emily Sundblad. The exhibition is an amazing display of various works that include drawing, assemblage, sculpture, and installation. Playing in the gallery is 8 old English folk songs played in the gallery and displayed each on it’s own USB stick with hardware. The songs are adapted from early recordings by Shirley Collins and performed by Emily Sundblad and Matt Sweeney. “Black Is the New Orange” is an attempt to explore how two antiquated institutions- the zoo and marriage- and one institution that will always be a jour- death- illustrate a feeling of imprisonment by love.
