"Between Spaces" Exhibition
MOMA PS1
This event has ended.
Between Spaces is a group exhibition organized by P.S.1’s junior curatorial staff. The exhibition brings together eleven emerging and established artists who remove familiar objects from their traditional functions, creating work that suggests new contexts and possibilities.
Adopting the role of alchemist, the artists in Between Spaces reform and shift the aesthetic and cultural connotations of their materials. Notions of presence and absence are highlighted, evoking the space in between.
In recasting the functionality of standard materials, including light, the works in Between Spaces challenge the viewer’s perception of domestic material conventions. In his series Blinds, Martin Soto Climent explores the physical limits of Venetian blinds as he twists and transforms them into a draped installation that cascades from the wall. Artist Alex Da Corte uses homemade multicolored soda as the sole medium in his large site-specific floor installation. The soda is poured into molds and then hardens into an abstract composition of juxtaposed primary shapes.
Organized by Tim Goossens and Kate McNamara, P.S.1 Curatorial Assistants
