BROUGHT TO YOU BY:
Look in the Windows™ — a stARTling Public Space™ project was founded by kHyal of fiZz Agency, MegaGlam and SECTION; and incubated with Karl Heine of creativeplacement, SoNo Spaces and DesignerJournals. kHyal and Karl have developed storefront projects and events together for over a decade and have been hired by municipalities, non-profits, universities, arts organizations and private clients to invigorate and educate audiences while stimulating local economies with economic development initiatives.
LOOK in the Windows was a curated international public art project installed in the storefront of Heine’s talent agency at 13 North Main Street in South Norwalk, CT, where the team branded and launched a coworking space in 2010 as “SoNo Spaces” and that Heine manages independently.
kHyal, an internationally exhibited artist, designer, and curator had been creating art installations in Heine’s storefront for years and suggested to Heine that they give other artists the opportunity. A pioneer of technology-based and experiential installation art in the 80s, kHyal also worked commercially with the team at Metropolitan interactive on the experiential design systems installed throughout the new Whitney Museum of American Art in 2015. She is an expert in on-demand textile and apparel printing and an established creator of wearable art and has developed a unique position in her work that explores the notion of art for, and about, the burgeoning international art fair markets including Art Basel. kHyal’s art and apparel have been featured in T — The New York Times style magazine, on NBC News and Fox News, in Trillionaire, Art Forum, Nylon, The Wall Street Journal and numerous other media outlets. And, was chosen by former America’s Top Model judge, Kelly Cutrone, as a runway favorite in an art fashion show curated and produced by Cutrone. kHyal’s product line, some in collaboration with Heine’s DesignerJournals company, has been sold in P!Q stores in Grand Central Terminal and Rockefeller Center in New York, Universal Walk in Orlando, and Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas; as well as New York Comic-Con. In 2016, she was selected by the technology company Meural for a solo show of her digital work at the Con Artist Collective on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, which helped spark the idea for LOOK in the Windows.

LOOK in the Windows featured an all-star cast of international talent. The installations were primarily digital, using the Meural Canvases procured through the company’s artist program, some included analog installations and physical art and products, depending on the artist.
The exhibitions were exclusive to this program and only shown in our installation in SoNo and later in our publication about the year-long program celebrating the artists involved.
