Robert Gober & Felix Gonzalez-Torres "A Shadow Leaving an Object"
Andrea Rosen Gallery (525 W 24th St)
This event has ended.
A Shadow Leaving an Object pairs Robert Gober's Prison Window, a barred window looking out to a swath of blue sky, with Felix Gonzalez-Torres' "Untitled"(March 5th) #1, a pair of mirrors, identical and round, set together, flush with the wall. Both works are embedded and never cross the threshold of the wall, thereby rendering the room technically empty. Viewers become the only physical presence within the room. The works open portals to spaces outside the four walls (beyond the window, inside the mirror), as well as simultaneously becoming backdrops for both real and theatrical experiences. Viewer is audience and player, observer and observed. Installed on opposite walls, one faces only a single work at a time; the other is always behind, seen only in reflective glimpses or in memory.
