Some of my Trees of Life Sculpture and Multimedia Installation on Governor's Island...artworks from years past with Figment in preparation for 2014...
This being my 6th curated year on Governor's Island  I plan to devote the next series of blog exploring the facets of this fascinating interactive series and  to study its  impact  and evolution(s) over these years here and abroad on nature, the arts and the many thousands of  people who have been part of the Installation.

Peter's Paradox Box  Multimedia Performances for Haitian Earthquake Relief 2010 - Saloon Stage New York
Study for Adam and Eve - Oil on Canvas circa 2000 and
one of my 16 Trees of Life Interactive Multimedia Sculptures - Blue Enigma with Chaplin Cane Governor's Island with Figment 2013


The Lovers circa 2000 - Oil on canvas 14" x 24" - Peter G Pereira
 ...and the inclusion of a front page Article on my very early performance and multimedia shows with wrap sculptures called the Peter's Paradox Box in the Montreal Gazette from the early 90's. 

The Artist Studio for painting and sculpture and music and his muses brought out  onto Paradox Box Stages.
The canvas taken off it stretchers and become  painting in the round surface.

One can discern my Dancers/Sculptures as translations of 2-dimensional surfaces (my Collapsed-Volume Skins) into 3-dimensional or vice-versa...my Collapsed-Volume Skins reconstituted into stretched Surfaces, and with the tip of my brush the point of origin at Infinity where the flow imagination and reality meet and part as the ebb and flow of Waves.

My Wrap Sculptures late 80's and 90s


Enigma Wrap Sculpture 2000-10s
Paradox Box Dancer/Sculpture - Governor's Island  2013





Also the invitation of Evolution F, the off-Broadway multimedia Surreal Opera and Spectacle which I co-wrote with the magnificent Laurie Fierstein, as Multimedia and Artistic Director (including animation film)   and Musical Composer (Paradox Box the Music).





The Peter G Pereira Trees of Life Series derived from these many earlier and contemporary works with Nature as palette with repertoire of light and shadow, grass, buildings, perspective and sky, Trees as 3-dimensional support for canvas and sculpture at once and Acreage for Installation, while People no longer as audience and observers but as participants and interactive elements of the vivid and original whole and fluid composition's whole.

 I will over the next few weeks go into various aspects  and insights of the Installation process for the Trees of Life.

Enjoy
