The Second Coming

Peter Caine creates his own winter wonderland in the windows of
Exit Art

Holiday Windows at Exit Art
Viewable 24 hours a day

December 16, 2006 - January 27, 2007
Opening Saturday December 16 7-10pm

Continuing the tradition of presenting holiday window displays, Exit
Art has invited Peter Caine to produce his provocative animatronic
installation work. By transforming found objects into quirky and
kinetic sculptures, Caine creates a winter wonderland full of
subversive sociopolitical underpinnings. Simultaneously spectacular
and unsettling, the holiday inspired installations are viewable
twenty-four hours a day in Exit Art’s 10th Avenue and 36th Street=

windows.

Caine is widely known for his animated, life-sized interpretations of
cartoon characters, historical figures and contemporary celebrities
alike, which frequently balance on the fine line between eccentric
and insane. He skillfully combines bright lights, sound and motion to
evoke an almost carnival-like atmosphere, which provides a unique
contrast to the undercurrent of political, racial and social concerns
frequently addressed within his work.

Peter Caine was listed in Artforum's Best of 2004, and contributed
work to PS1's Greater New York exhibition in 2005. According to
Holland Cotter, of the New York Times, Caine's work is, "beyond
irreverent… the visual version of a moral tantrum, abrupt, loud and=

apparently spontaneous."
