Elias Sime “TIGHTROPE: ECHO!?”

James Cohan Gallery

This event has ended.

James Cohan presents TIGHTROPE: ECHO!?, an exhibition of new work by Elias Sime.

A new chapter in the Tightrope series, the wall-based works in this exhibition feature megaphones that have been embellished and affixed to the surface of the picture. The inclusion of this new element points to the artist’s interest in the way information can be successfully or unsuccessfully transmitted. Sime explains, “As technology connects people virtually and physically from one end of the world to the other, unfiltered and sensational speeches are spread, creating confusion and doubting the truth. Each one of the Tightrope: ECHO!? is about what I am witnessing now.”
