Daniel Turner Exhibition
Franklin Parrasch Gallery
This event has ended.
Three bays reminiscent of agricultural feeders or laboratory tables are positioned in the gallery. The dimensions have been scaled-down, stripping the units of any logical or domestic potential. We are instead presented with objects that recall industrialized manufacture: kitchen counters resembling troughs are now corporeally-scaled, far from announcing their utility. Positioned atop one unit and submerged/dissolving in another’s lies a set of refrigerator handles, severed from any discernable function.
Central to Turner’s work is the synthesis of ideas through a stark economy of means - the breaking down of materials, and of function from form. Turner has shaped an environment which sustainedly contains ambiguous scenarios within itself. These environments seem to suggest a precarious situation which they never actually realize.
