TUESDAY —– FEBRUARY 9, 2010 ***
It’s always fascinating, if rare, when art and sports collide. Last night it occurred in a wildly committed play by play reenactment of the Super Bowl while it was being viewed on TV, in an old synagogue-turned-artists studio in East Williamsburg.
In their 100-year-old defunct synagogue, artists Matt Freedman and Jude Taillichet installed a mini-turf field stretching about 60 ft, with to-scale yard lines, goal posts scoreboard and all the leading characters of a super bowl—coaches, referees, owners, cheerleaders, sports commentators, halftime entertainment. All this with a backdrop of vaulted stained glass windows.
