May 5 - August 26, 2006
Lever House 390 Park Avenue

The Lever House Art Collection is pleased to announce the installation of E.V. Day’s Bride Fight in the Lever House Lobby Gallery from May 6 – August 26, 2006.

Bride Fight, a spectacular high-tension string up of two dueling bridal gowns is E.V. Day’s most complex and most ambitious work to date. Using heavy-duty fishing line and hardware, E.V. Day eviscerates the two white gowns along with their accompanying tulle veils, long lace gloves, garters, shoes and even strands of hair. A white glove grasps a fistful of blonde braid; another simultaneously bursts a string of pearls around the other’s neck. Frozen in the extreme of distention, the materials are captured in a thicket of hundreds of monofilaments at their moment of obliteration.
