Pipi Deer “remnants”

OPENSPACE

This event has ended.

OPENSPACE Nomadic Gallery presents its inaugural show at its new location in Tribeca. The gallery will open its doors on Friday, November 11, 2016, with a solo exhibition by Pipi Deer called remnants.

The centerpiece of this exhibition is the installation remnants, 40 objects of significance, sealed in zip lock bags, affixed directly to a wall. The sealed bags preserve what is lost: memories, death, beauty; each tracing back to a time and place, mostly forgotten. Each object is heart-felt, with a deeply personal history. These relics have a definite aura, infused with life essence, refusing to be tossed away. Each separate bag and its object holds a life, slowly dying. Also part of the exhibition are two photographs and a piece of sculpture, further fragments of a fading past.
