Art in Odd Places: BODY | New York City
Denise Treizman and Adam Brazil

2018
“Off the Grid-iron” is a collaborative project between artists Denise Treizman and Adam Brazil. Denise Treizman is an artist from Chile, currently based in New York. Her sculpture and installation repurposes found and ready-made objects, combined with clay and fiber elements. Her process embraces chance, explores material and spatial relationships and relies on resourcefulness. Adam Brazil is an interdisciplinary artist and professor at Syracuse University. His work approaches social issues with dark humor and material experimentation.
The project comments on notions of gender, exclusivity and the body. Vibrantly glazed footballs function as vessels of energy to be passed down the street until they reach the end zone, where a performer will smash them, shattering preconceived interpretations of sport.
