WATCH YOUR STEP in Chelsea

Stop looking at facebook for a moment, don't update your twitter and refrain from checking in on fourssquare. Be careful where you put your feet at the new exhibit of the FLAG Art Foundation at the Chelsea Towers.
You have  until August 24th to check out (and stumble over) some great pieces like the ones below.

Grimanesa Amoros, Uros, 2012. LEDs, diffusion material, vinyl, custom lighting sequence, electrical hardware, 5 x 7 x 1 ft

“Watch Your Step” examines the relationship of the work to the floor and how the viewer experiences the work, shifting one’s perspective from eye-level to start from the ground. Various works emanate directly from the floor, while others use the space between ground and wall to increase one’s perception of the horizontal plane and the architecture. " 

So put that phone away for a while and enjoy works by: Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Polly Apfelbaum, Lynda Benglis, Patricia Cronin, Tara Donovan, Steven & William Ladd, Richard Long, Michael Phelan, Kiki Smith, Julianne Swartz, Richard Serra, and Corban Walker.
