Sunday is the final day to catch a Brooklyn art exhibit where two artists have been living inside a giant hamster wheel since February 28. NY1's Steven Kastenbaum visited the exhibit and filed the following report.

Imagine living every minute of every day not being able to make a move unless you coordinate it with someone 20 feet above you. That's what artists Ward Shelly and Alex Schweder have been doing for more than a week, living inside a giant wheel made out of wood and suspended from the ceiling. Their art installation is called In Orbit.

The way we work the piece is by shifting our weight within it. If we want to move from say the bed to the desk, we have to get up and walk and turn the wheel so that the desk comes in level. We're always standing in the same place, said artist Alex Schweder.

The wheel is 20 feet in diameter and it's suspended five feet off the ground. It has everything you could possibly need to live for ten days - a bed, a desk, a chair, two kitchens, it even has a toilet.

The kitchen and toilet can tilt so they remain level as the wheel turns.

We've brought enough food, we have enough water and all of the activities that you go through in your normal day are here, said Schweder.

Alex and Ward call their work social relationship architecture. While they've been living in the wheel they say they've gotten away from the mindset of being an individual and learned more about working collaboratively toward a goal.

Living this way requires a lot of cooperation and patience. But they've had some practice at being part of an art installation before.

We've made a kind of trilogy of works, the first being a piece called Stability where we lived on a balance beam. The next was Counterweight Roommate where we had a building in between us and we were tied off at the waste to a rope. And we would use each other as a counterweight to move from floor to floor, said Schweder.

A steady stream of people have come by to see this work in motion.

Artists Explore Coordination by Living in Giant Hamster Wheel

BEIRUT: Strips of black vinyl tape meticulously placed on white panels create a dizzying optical illusion. The floor seems to undulate beneath viewers gaze as they assess the proportions of the Ottoman-era entrance hall. A site-specific installation by Scottish artist Jim Lambie, The Strokes (Black & White) has temporarily transformed the former Abdallah Bustros Palace, now home to The Metropolitan Art Society, into a psychedelic wonderland.

The gallerys latest exhibition, That Petrol Emotion, also features work by four other Glasgow-based artists Martin Boyce, Victoria Morton, Scott Myles and Michael Wilkinson. The group show has been organized and curated by The Modern Institute, which was founded in Glasgow in 1998 as a production and research gallery aiming to bring international artists to Scotland and promote local artists abroad.

Each artist has been assigned a gallery. Lambies installation pieces occupy the main hallway, the palaces largest space by far. Lambie works as a musician and DJ as well as a visual artist, and his work references music and sound, both overtly and implicitly. The striking vinyl floor covering, whose pattern has been tailored to pause and resume on either side of the decorative metal grating that flanks the hall, evokes oscillating sound waves.

Scattered at intervals across the space are five works from the artists Sonic Reducer series old LP covers encased in concrete blocks, their colorful spines protruding to form abstract patterns.

Found objects, an integral facet of Lambies practice, are used in much of the work on show. In Straight No Chaser, he has coated old potato sacks in shiny acrylic paint, hanging them atop one another to create a layered accumulation of rough oblongs.

A nominee for the 2005 Turner Prize, the artist has arranged the pieces in such a way that they come together to form a coherent whole. A steampunk-esque sculpture, consisting of mismatched mirrors suspended from the ceiling on a contraption resembling a many-jointed mechanical arm, captures ever-shifting reflections of the floor art.

Mirrors are also used in Metal Box, a 3-D wall-mounted work made of nine panels of polished aluminum. Each reflective square is adorned with metal corners that curl like petals. Intended to evoke the peeling edges of ad posters, the piece produces a dizzying effect akin to looking through a kaleidoscope.

The works of Michael Wilkinson also employ mirrors. The Merseyside-born artist is concerned with themes of revolution and movements for change, from the May 1968 demonstrations in Paris to the British punk scene and its gradual incorporation into the mainstream. Two works from his 97-piece series The Wall reference Pink Floyds album cover. Wilkinson has painted white bricks onto a series of square mirrors, removing one at a time in seemingly random patterns until, in the final work in the series, the whole mirror is revealed.

In the center of the room hangs an untitled work, a tangled mass of oily VHS tape that looms like a sci-fi sea monster. Wilkinson has produced a number of these installations, inspired by reams of tape he found hanging from trees in Afghanistan. The Taliban had gutted the tape and hung it, streamer-like, as a warning against the evils of pictures and music, creating a tension between aesthetics and ideology that fasciated the artist.

Victoria Mortons abstract paintings are inspired by land- and cityscapes in Scotland and Italy, where she spends half the year. Surprisingly modern among this thoroughly contemporary work, Mortons paintings are given an installation feel by the hand-made dresses she exhibits alongside them. Two of these hang limp from metal stands, conjuring up the human figures she effaces from her paintings.
