Tim Hawkinson Exhibition
The Pace Gallery (32 E 57th St)
This event has ended.
Since the 1980s, Tim Hawkinson has used common found and store-bought materials, handcrafted objects, and machines to shift familiar subject matter off-kilter, creating visual conundrums imbued with deeper meaning. Driven by ideas, materials, and an interest in transformation, today Hawkinson continues to create unlikely and thought-provoking associations by transforming common materials into works of art. Hawkinson’s exhibition features new works created in 2008 and 2009, including a life-sized (52" x 77-1/2" x 31-1/2") single cylinder two-stroke engine motorcycle constructed out of eight varieties of feathers, small sculptures crafted out of eggshells, and a sculpture of an oversized skinned knee and ripped blue jeans rendered five feet in height.
