exhibition Intruder at Patrick Parrish Gallery until October 10th from 11am to 6pm. The gallery is located at 50 Lispenard Street. #alexisdahan

Intruder, the latest art project from French artist Alexis Dahan springs from a public exhibition dating back to when he removed a New York cobblestone and switched it with one plucked from Paris.

The art exhibition features several lamps encased in a cement cast of the original cobblestone, surrounded by casts from the opposite city's cobble. Since 2012, he has had numerous exhibitions of sculptures, drawings and public exhibition in the United States and Europe. 

This isn't the first time Alexis Dahan has let New York City inspire him. In 2015 he opened a solo exhibition titled "Alarm!" where he brought the art to the sidewalks with an old fire department alarm box painted fluorescent red.

Intrusion (Alarm Amann) - is a long term public intervention I created with the support of the Fire Department of New York as part of #Alarmexhibition in February 2015. The simple gesture was to repaint an old alarm using fluorescent red so the abandoned and graffitied urban furniture would radiate and become the most visible element of this street corner... No sponsors, no fuss, just a powerful color experience for the community that was restored yesterday. #firealarmbox #fdny #alexisdahan

The exhibition can be viewed at the Patrick Parrish Gallery in New York until October 10.
