Honza Zamojski “Self Portrait With Fish”
Andrew Kreps Gallery
This event has ended.
In Andrew Kreps Gallery 535 West 22nd Street space, Polish artist Honza Zamojski (re) presents an exhibition as self-portrait, both literally and metaphorically. A room-sized figurative sculpture pushes and distends its way into the gallery’s main exhibition space, while a small selection of ichthyological drawings hang in the offices, creating an ecosystem inhabited by fish, fishing and bliss. The sculpture, as self-portrait, performs a triple action: measuring the space, indicating the size of the catch and displaying an erection. The passion for angling is, at one and the same time, a metaphor for a love of art and for an escape from it.
A version of this exhibition was previously shown at Galeria Foksal, Warsaw, Poland accompanied by a catalog entitled Fishing With John.
Honza Zamojski’s work has been featured in solo exhibitions at Arsenal Gallery, Bialystock, Poland; LETO Gallery, Warsaw, Poland; Cleopatra’s, Brooklyn, New York; and Kim?, Riga, Latvia.
