John Grades "Circuit"

CYNTHIA-REEVES

poster for John Grades "Circuit"

This event has ended.

Grade’s work overtly engages with its surrounding environments, both architectural and natural. When indoors, his work references built space – at CYNTHIA-REEVES, Circuit literally connects with the gallery’s walls. When presented outdoors, the work evolves materially. Weather patterns affect the exposed surfaces, which disintegrate and morph the piece into an entirely new work. The impetus for Circuit began with a mental image: a bird’s eye view of black forms ascending a white snow blanketed mountain. After its debut at the gallery, Circuit travels to Washington State, where the piece will live on a remote mountainside of the South Cascades for one year. 150 volunteers will process the 400 parts composing Circuit up the mountain to encircle the peak, where the pieces will be placed. The outdoor installation manifests Grade’s grand vision. Circuit then travels to a third location for final exhibition, after it has weathered a year of elemental exposure.
