David Spriggs “Blue”
Abrons Arts Center
This event has ended.
RU and the Abrons Arts Center announce the first solo exhibition in New York by Montreal-based artist David Spriggs . Blue is a site-specific installation created for the Abrons Arts Center Gallery that addresses the physicality and perception of the color blue. Whilst referencing Yves Klein's International Klein Blue (IKB) and the Light and Space artists of the sixties, Blue imagines new concepts of hue in space manifesting the color as a graspable physical object. Embracing the spectacle of "blueness," the installation delivers a destabilizing and powerful experience. As writer John Hampton notes: "Spriggs works primarily in phenomenological experience; he creates stunningly convincing illusions of airy, voluminous objects that we enter visually."
