Doris Salcedo Exhibition
This event has ended.
At Alexander and Bonin
Media: Sculpture
Doris Salcedo will exhibit two new sculptures in her one-person show at Alexander and Bonin, her first in New York since 2000. These sculptures expand a vocabulary of form Salcedo began to explore in 1992 when she first used found domestic furniture in her work. She filled the voids in beds, chairs and cabinets with concrete and sometimes fabric. In these works the private and the institutional collide; cabinets which belong in an interior/domestic space are forced into unlikely juxtapositions with concrete and tables. In her words, ‘these dislocated pieces address the violent collision of different acts, times, feelings and opposite views.’ Once rectilinear and predominantly upright, the newest sculptures are composed of skewed forms positioned on their backs.
