Caitlin Masley “Deconstructed Revisionisms (The Place I Can’t See With My Own Eyes)”
Lu Magnus
This event has ended.
Lu Magnus presents Caitlin Masley’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. DECONSTRUCTED REVISIONISMS (the places i can’t see with my own eyes) is an in-depth examination of over five years of Masley’s drawings and works on paper, many of which have never before been shown in the United States.
Caitlin Masley’s work is fostered by a long standing obsession with Brutalist Architecture, Spomeniks, the work of architect Lebbeus Woods, as well as the post-war Japanese architectural movement ‘Metabolism’ — all of which confront us with explorations of design systems in crisis, the confrontation of the order of the existing by the new, and the fusing of ideas about megastructures with those of organic biological growth.
DECONSTRUCTED REVISIONISMS (the places i can’t see with my own eyes) looks closely at Masley’s drawing practice as an embodied negotiation of geopolitical space. While working mostly with reference to distinct architectural structures and urban topographies, each drawing series is organized around an examination of a specific place in a specific moment in history and often a way for Masley to deconstruct a political situation and/or breach a physical boundary.
