Elana Herzog "Into the Fray"
LMAKgallery
This event has ended.
LMAKprojects presents Elana Herzog’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, "Into the Fray," for which she will make a new site–specific installation. Into the Fray responds to the space of the gallery and encompasses the viewer within its sculptural environment.
At LMAKprojects Herzog will engage the entire gallery as she applies her signature use of staples and cloth to its walls and to free standing constructions. "Into the Fray" makes use of two dimensional and three dimensional elements to move the viewer’s eye from surface to structure, reinterpreting and questioning the traditional role of the support and armature in painting and sculpture. Her use of the expression "The withering away of the support" playfully confuses the words of Karl Marx with those of comparably dogmatic Modernist critic Clement Greenberg.
