Bitforms Gallery
This event has ended.
Bitforms gallery is pleased to announce the New York debut of Slovenian artist duo son:DA (Metka Golec, b. 1972 and Miha Horvat, b. 1976). For their first solo exhibition in the United States, son:DA is showing new configurations from their mouse.computer.drawing series.
Originally drafted by hand using a mouse that leaves a heavy contour line, imagery in the exhibit was manipulated site-specifically. Depicting figures and arrays of remote controls, cabling, computers, cameras and stereo equipment, the overwhelming collage of paper cut outs took two weeks to assemble. Printed and manipulated using everyday 8.5 x 11” pieces of paper and the regular desktop printer in the bitforms gallery office, the work is a Do It Yourself reflection on modern convenience and tools.
Even mechanical reproduction, at times, does give way to painterly imperfection. Sometimes the printer messed up, the paper jammed and ink ran out. These vulnerable and human spaces of connection fuel son:DA’s otherwise flat utilitarian forms. Tiles of A4 paper in the gallery space activate a cartoony grid of electronic interface along the picture plane, and speak to the impact of pixels on contemporary visual culture.
