Merve Işeri + Krista Louise Smith “Sonnets of the Subconscious”
Carvalho Park
This event has ended.
CARVALHO PARK enters its second year of programming with the opening of Sonnets of the Subconscious, featuring Brooklyn-based artist Krista Louise Smith and Instanbul + London-based artist Merve Işeri.
The uncertainties of now incite a retreat to interior spaces. The works in this exhibition follow the topographies of dreams, considering the body’s abstract presence - both restricted and fluid - in these preferred, temporal spaces. Prompted by inner necessity, Işeri’s and Smith’s paintings privilege experience over interpretation, by way of openness over preconception. Dominating the central space of the gallery is a monumental installation of 680 ceramic teeth sculpted by Smith, befittingly titled Bad Dreams. Diligently untangled from the subconscious and put forth as a sublime army, the works extend twenty-four feet down the gallery’s main space.
