As a part of The Next Fifty Art, Culture and Design series, Lisa Hein and Robert Seng present “BRUISE,” a process-oriented artwork constructed in the form of a growing Jell-O brick wall. The brightly colored piece will be open for viewing 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, now through Sunday, Sept. 9, on Next 50 Plaza at Seattle Center.
To create “BRUISE,” the artists boil and cast the Jell-O on site and mortar the resulting bricks into a structure that continues to grow for several weeks. As the piece is constructed, the decaying horizon of Jell-O grows to resemble stained glass.
Seng explained, "When we start building this project, the Jell-O holds up the mortar. Next day, the mortar holds up the Jell-O. By the end of the process, mortar is all that’s left. It’s like a lace wall.”
The purple wall of EMP that Hein and Seng thought looked like Jell-O was the inspiration for “BRUISE.” The museum’s architect, Frank Gehry, visited the artists’ first Jell-O project in New York. “BRUISE” is their tribute in return.
Lisa Hein and Robert Seng have collaborated on over 30 site projects since 1996. The Brooklyn-based artists are known for the wry humor and technical range of their temporary installations. Learn more about the project on the artists’ website at www.heinseng.com.
