The Tanya Bonakdar Gallery exhibits Sarah Sze’s latest installation and
sculptural works, as her materials range from paint drips, wood planks to light
bulbs, mirrors and rocks. Sze blurs the
boundaries between sculpture, painting and installation, transforming the gallery
space into a complex landscape.
If
you are new to the gallery, it is possible to miss the gallery on the first
floor, which is located on the left side of the entrance. The confusion is
multiplied when one notices a pile of wooden planks on top of a plastic bag
with drips of white paint sliding off is stacked near the glass window, as if the
gallery is under some kind of construction. Coca Cola cups,
half-filled Poland Spring water bottles are placed “randomly” on top of the
ladder along the white and blue paint drips, as if the workers of the gallery
had left it after a day of work. After a couple minutes of wandering the space
and stumbling in to random objects, one notices that the high ceilings with
clamp lights, paint drips on the floor, wooden planks, mirrors and ripped
photographic images are not just randomly thrown away in space but precisely
placed, offering the viewer to connect the dots, construct meaning and relationship
between these objects and themselves.
Hi Shina, I’m impressed by how you describe the entrance of space. I felt the same when I first look at it. If I’m a reader who haven’t see the show, it will intrigue me to walk into a space like that. And you give plenty example of objects which effective rich the imagination of viewer to picture the whole exhibition.
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion for you is that you can describe more about objects’ material, state, or color. Additionally, you mention “precisely placed”, I wish you could address more about it. For instance, how the position of objects influence viewers to see from macro to micro perspective.
