Mitzi Pederson "You’ll Know"
Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery
This event has ended.
Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery presents its second solo exhibition of Mitzi Pederson: You’ll Know.
Bent, balanced, stacked and suspended, Pederson’s sculptures function as drawing in space, while pushing the strength and pliability of material. Drawing and collage extend the artist’s experiments with form and completion.
Pederson‘s recent work subverts expectation: as we approach a sculpture, it begins to suggest a shape, yet at a particular point our perception shifts. Closed forms and support structures open into free space, eluding definitive resolution. By allowing the qualities of each material to help determine a work’s form and means of support, individual elements such as warped wood and thread take on a life of their own. With these delicate tensile constructions, Pederson creates works that are questions rather than statements, investigating their own potential energy and permanence.
