When you first went to "The Boiler" you saw a male model dressed up as a werewolf. To his left, sitting on a rug, two blonde children reclined beside a blonde female model. All three of their faces were covered in dark make-up meant to resemble dirt or coal dust. The children played with a ball and chain which was attached to the blonde female model’s ankle. During the photo shoot one of the children must have made a mistake in the way they were coached to pose because a woman in a polar fleece vest moved from behind the camera towards the child and said “You ruined the photograph.”
P.P.O.W is presenting a site-specific installation by Ben Gocker entitled Bad Dreams.
SEVEN 2012
P•P•O•W will present an installation by Dutch artist Melanie Bonajo including some of her recent photographs published in SPHERES. We will also present ZAZAZOZO a project which was created during the artic winter of eastern Greenland by Joseph Marzolla
and Melanie Bonajo. Bonajo's art uncovers how current ideas surrounding
identity and value systems are driven by consumption; ultimately
leading society further from human nature. In addition there will be a
new multi-panel photographic work by Vietnamese artist Dinh Q. Le created during his recent residency in Toyko. Lê was recently featured in dOCUMENTA (13). Other artists featured at SEVEN will be Karen Arm, Bo Bartlett, George Boorujy, Timothy Horn, Portia Munson, Jessica Stoller, Robin Williams and David Wojnarowicz.

SEVEN MIAMI 2011
P•P•O•W will present a site-specific installation by Bill Smith who creates interactive sculptures that rely on his training in both art and science. His work synthesizes his acute observations of nature and an intensive approach to mechanical engineering, resulting in installations that exists somewhere between a highly sophisticated sculptural practice and the elegant mechanics of science. In addition there will be a monumental painting of a tenement by Martin Wong, whose estate P•P•O•W represents. Beginning in the early 1980’s, Wong started painting scenes from the East Village where he lived. Wong rendered the combination of painting and architecture, which evolved into a spiritual concept. Wong’s work will be featured in the permanent collection of MoMA in a re-installation opening on November 17th.
