‘100 Flares / Lights / Bagpipes’ by Raphaele Shirley & David Watson | The Callicoon Depot
Raphaele Shirley and David Watson illuminate the Callicoon Depot with an immersive installation combining live sound, handheld lights, and white flares. The site transforms into an evolving, ephemeral sculpture, momentarily obscured as the progression of change is marked by Watson’s live musical composition. Created specifically for the Callicoon Art Walk, this work builds on Shirley’s series of ephemeral sculptures, accompanied by live music, developed since 2016 and presented at venues such as the Queens Museum, Flint Public Art Project, and the Kai Art Center. Inspired by 18th-century paintings and ideas of urgency and celebration, Shirley brings fragments of historical imagery to life, momentarily blurring the lines between imagination and reality, past and present.
