"This Is THIS" Exhibition
Zach Feuer Gallery
This event has ended.
Zach Feuer Gallery presents This is THIS.
"This is THIS explores a selection of works engaging the potential of commonplace objects. With selfless restraint, each artist demonstrates respect for the material's original character, altering only enough to subtly manifest a statement. These works are not readymades, having been subjected to specific adjustment. Nuanced through reduction, assemblage, portraiture and alchemy, each piece retains a strong tie to its original form.
This process of recontextualization is activated immediately upon interaction with the material, highlighting the artist's capacity to resuscitate the overlooked. Paramount is this sensitivity to inherent meaning, followed by the instinct to abandon it - and reappraise."
-Isaac Brest, exhibition organizer
