“MDF Blog” Exhibition
Planthouse
This event has ended.
Planthouse presents its upcoming exhibition, MDF Blog, organized by artist Grayson Cox.
MDF Blog, a show of sculpture made by 16 contemporary artists working with a variety of media and philosophies. The show consists of cube pedestals that were issued to each artist in a similar way that one might be issued a blog template. Each artist will use this formal stage and the frame of a gridded floor plan to present an artwork. The concept highlights the subjectivity of how we propose, consider, and view ‘art’, with some artists choosing to “hack” their allotted base or simply not use it at all.
Sculptures by Neal Bashor, Liene Bosquê, Katherine Bradford, Van Hanos, Rachel Higgins, Anna K.E., Alexandra Lerman, Sara Magenheimer, Sara Greenberger Rafferty, Birgit Rathsmann, Robert Rhee, Esther Ruiz, Gabriela Salazar, Lauren Pakradooni, Megan Plunkett, and Virginia Poundstone.
