NYAB Event - “Space Heater” Exhibition

“Space Heater” Exhibition

(harbor)

This event has ended.

The show as a whole shares a warm color palette, and each work of art uniquely disrupts our traditional understanding of positive and negative space.The work in Space Heater appears to multiply, twist, turn, project out into the gallery, and suck the viewer in through illusionistic contradictions. It takes the tradition of push and pull and inverts the two on their heads. Allowing the mystery of origin to dominate, curiosity to rule.

In this exhibition, Harbor gallery becomes a reactor for a new artistic fission of space, and as the title suggests, a metaphor is made between the visual ‘energy’ produced by a work of art, and the utilitarian space heater that gets us all through winter.
