TONY ORRICO / New York Times November 2011
‘In “Canyon” Mr. Orrico will appear in a disguise of sorts, creating the visual design from inside a white box as it — or he — rolls across the stage on wheels as the others dance. He sees it as confined endurance drawing-taping; he constructs lines using masking tape.’

NICOLE COHEN: “Interiors: Marilyn, Versailles and Michael” at the Pacific Design Center
Blue Lobby (left side next to entrance) / 8687 Melrose Avenue / Los Angeles, CA
Public Reception: Thursday, September 22, 5-8:30 pm
We are pleased to announce a newly commissioned sculpture by Nicole Cohen, which will be installed in the Blue Lobby at the Pacific Design Center.
Cohen’s “Interiors: Marilyn, Versailles, and Michael”, (2011) takes inspiration from three of the artist’s video projects, in which she entered three historically famous homes: Versailles, Neverland Ranch, and the home of Marilyn Monroe.
Each video project is represented now in this sculpture unified by three symbolic keys. Marilyn Monroe is represented in pink chrome, Marie Antoinette in gold chrome, and Michael Jackson in a red chrome key. The image of the key recalls Hitchcock in his use of doors of mystery and suspense. This project is part of the Design Loves Art program curated by Helen Varola.
Cohen’s work is positioned at the intersection of contemporary reality, personal fantasy, and culturally constructed space. She seeks to challenge notions of lifestyle, domesticity, celebrity, and social behavior.
