Eva Berendes “Spring/Summer”
CRG Gallery
This event has ended.
The exhibition’s arrangement vaguely resembles a long shut down retail store, constituted of objects reminiscent of abandoned display elements–an allusion also hinted at by the title of the show. Spring/Summer is a playful jab at the way in which the fashion and design industries have trivialized seasons, using them to delineate similar saleable objects from one another four times a year. Even though Berendes’ work undoubtedly considers aesthetic trends of the Applied Arts, Arts & Crafts, and more fine arts conceptual movements like the Bauhaus and Russian Constructivism, it does not seek to bridge the difference between design and fine art or between purely formal concerns and purely conceptual considerations. Berendes draws attention to the material presence of her objects to explore the potential for the elegant and harmonious combinations of disparate materials.
