This event has ended.

Curated by Cabinet Magazine. A combination of delicacy and rigor is a hallmark of Lisa Young’s hybrid and conceptual practice, which includes installation, video and web projects. Like a scientist, Young uses observation and classification, but her “experiments” produce empyreal results. A key activity in all her work is collecting, analyzing and repositioning image and text fragments. Young acts as a visual interpreter, placing everyday images (televised sports, fortune cookie fortunes) in structured systems that also allow for chance occurrences. Her works “function simultaneously as formal documents; as a framing of [my] consciousness and observation; and as pieces of ephemera that reflect the incomplete and transitory qualities of the sublime.” Perpetually en route to an unknown destination, "Flocking" emphasizes the significance of the journey over a predetermined goal. Young’s exhibition at the CUE Art Foundation marks her first solo show in New York and will include three of her video works, "Lyra Angelica," "Drives" and "Practice." Also on view will be installations of "Flocking" and "Fortune Hunting."
