The Extension

15 Jan-14 Feb 2011

Overview

An exhibition of new works by Björn Braun, Alexandre da Cunha, Brian Griffiths, Talia Chetrit and Nate Boyce that sets up a conversation between sculptures, materials and the act of building. ‘The Extension’ is a rather unpretentious and modest conversation where ideas on form, surface,size and weight are casually discussed, where the processes nearly become the subject matter of the work. The works in the exhibition will show particular relationships to labour: of diverse physical actions, of time spent (long and short), of collaborative or individual endeavor. The organic and the natural will elegantly co-exist with the urban and the architectural, with the outside and inside (the world and art, matter and space, - the edges all blurring), top and bottom. The real and propositional become entangled digressions. Abstraction or the abstracted hang in the air mixed with utility, of industry and everyday experience. A show that solidifies thought, creates movement via the inert and reflects the shifting absurd backdrop of our daily life.
