The Arbitrariness of Signs Exhibition
Momenta Art
This event has ended.
In the representational but surreal realm are works like Jane Benson's constructivist look at nature, Anne Deleporte's photo fresco, Karl Erickson's latch-hook pillows, Shana Moulton's reflections on the supernatural powers of household objects, and two works from Peter Rostovsky's series Significant Objects. Nina Lola Bachhuber and Ohad Meromi both push recognizable objects into ambiguous assemblages that, in their wholeness, defy classification while containing the recognizable: horns, eggs, and LPs, to name a few. Pushing familiar forms further into abstraction are works by Richard Artschwager, Brendan Fernandes, Sheree Hovsepian, Jenny Salomon, and Roberto Visani. Artschwager's is a splattered version of itself, while Hovsepian and Salomon's contributions involve layering of image towards a holographic effect. Visani and Fernandes – Salomon as well – blur the line between animal and human. To complicate matters, artworks by Ian Cooper and Mary A. Valverde channel the logic of electronic and mathematical networks and systems. The only confirmed word in the rebus will be an artwork by painter and book artist Robert The, bearing a four letter word: THIS.
