ángeles veloces arcanos fugaces 

ángeles veloces arcanos fugaces is a participatory art installation that reimagines a roller dancing rink as an art experience by assume vivid astro focus (avaf).

Faena Art, originally commissioned avaf to create a neo-disco roller rink in 2014 for the Faena Art Center Buenos Aires.

assume vivid astro focus first explored the concept of the roller rink as an interactive installation with Public Art Fund in Central Park, New York City in 2004 as part of the Whitney Biennial. That original iteration of the project was intended as an homage to the Skate Circle, a community of roller dancers in Central Park that have been a part of New York City’s identity for years and part of the fabric of its  cultural life.

assume vivid astro focus is comprised of Eli Sudbrack and Christophe Hamaide-Pierson. Eli Sudbrack was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and lives and works between São Paulo and New York. Christophe Hamaide-Pierson was born in Paris and lives and works in Paris. Their work is part of major international collections such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, São Paulo; De La Cruz Collection; and The Depart Foundation.
