Daniel Rothbart Exhibition
HP Garcia Gallery
This event has ended.
This exhibition is a diverse survey of the artist’s recent sculpture and "Meditation/Mediation" performance collaborations, curated by Enrico Pendrini. Daniel Rothbart’s work examines the relationship between nature, urban postmodern identity and metaphysics.
On view for the first time in the United States is "Flotilla," a floating sculpture in aluminum and found glass that was produced for the 2007 edition of OPEN. Inspired by the maritime and glassblowing traditions of Venice, this serpentine work displays traces of it’s life in Adriatic lagoons, including light algae and seawater trapped in it’s floats. Other sculptural works include the spinning locus of "SOUNDSTORM," a recent installation at the LAB Gallery, which emulates the helical shape of storm clouds and a fifty-foot welded aluminum vine, inspired by urban botany and the Song of Songs. "Broken," a constellation of potshards and crazed, parched earth, occupies a bed on sand in one of the galleries. A video projection includes Meditation/Mediation collaborations between Daniel Rothbart and Achille Bonito Oliva, Yoko Ono, Martha Wilson, Anthony Haden-Guest, Larry Miller, Alan Jones, Francine Hunter McGivern including others.
