This event has ended.

Eleven Rivington presents two new installations by Valeska Soares.

The large-scale installation Any Moment Now…is on view at 195 Chrystie and gives the exhibition its title. It consists of 365 unique dust jackets whose titles reference time. The book covers include literary classics, plays, and pulp fiction; from Long Day’s Journey Into Night, The Morning After to Now or Never. The different circumstances to which each of the titles alludes create a poetic meta text about the unfathomable event that is time. The 365 dust jackets are mounted on linen and hung salon style, covering the entire gallery. The exhibition space becomes a subjective library of keeping time and the physicality of its passage. Any Moment Now follows Soares’s investigation of the potential of language as a formal and conceptual aid in the creation of unstable narratives. Text and illustration, image and abstraction, design and typography all become a part of a thoughtful examination of continuously shifting narratives.
