Aeron Bergman and Alejandra Salinas "Gladly Will I Sell For Profit, Dear Merchants of the Town, My Hat Laden With Snow"

Dumbo Arts Center

This event has ended.

In their first solo exhibition in New York, artist duo Aeron Bergman and Alejandra Salinas show a new body of work at DAC that draws attention to its own durability and physicality. Web content is burned onto acid-free paper with a laser engraver for maximum longevity. Information from paper documents is engraved as a series of granite monuments (the same material used for grave markers and high end kitchen counters). Tang dynasty poetry is etched into chinaware. Sculptures in marble, granite and (faux) gold suggest their value as the materials of the beaux arts, while ceramic, brick and tile pieces invoke the domestic.
