NYAB Event - Brody Condon & Jen Liu Exhibition

Brody Condon & Jen Liu Exhibition

On Stellar Rays

This event has ended.

The gallery is pleased to present a two-person exhibition of new sculpture and video by Brody Condon and drawings and photo-based works by Jen Liu. Condon and Liu have been in dialogue for several years, and this exhibition offers the first opportunity to view their works together.

Brody Condon’s process involves extensive conjuring of images, props and visual sets for use in his performances. This vivid imagery is culled from specific literary or historical moments of the late 20th century when nihilistic views challenged fixed definitions of identity and the self.
Recently Condon has mined this rich cache of visual imagery to create a related body of work in video and sculpture. Constructed in low-polygon shapes and covered in digital-patterned surfaces, the sculptures suggest the profile of a figure from the computer-simulated environments of the 1990’s.

Jen Liu suggests historical periods and associated ideologies through the use of familiar and cliché visual cues, often sourced from news and entertainment media, with psychological and social inquires that parallel Condon’s. Liu disrupts this imagery through various formal interventions, such as folding, obscuring, and darkening color to grayscale.
