Artem Fructus Crustulam
Artem Fructus Crustulam - a slice of a thousand references. On December 14th, 2012, Weird Days will be celebrating the opening of Artem Fructus Crustulam, an installation by Chen Chen and Kai Williams.
The work of Chen and Kai flickers between its material composition and familiar topography, creating a visual language that is highly amorphous and exponentially referential.
Artem Fructus Crustulam - a slice of a thousand references. On December 14th, 2012, Weird Days will be celebrating the opening of Artem Fructus Crustulam, an installation by Chen Chen and Kai Williams.
The work of Chen and Kai flickers between its material composition and familiar topography, creating a visual language that is highly amorphous and exponentially referential.
The show will feature the duo’s resin work displayed on a large mirrored table. Each piece is a cross section of materials bound in colored resin. When sliced, these familiar materials conceal themselves into many different scales, appearing as cells, food, architecture, miniature post-minimalist sculpture, and gooey nebulas.
The table functions as a transformative platform that highlights the scale model as an arbitrary informer. The pieces mirrored on the table constantly mutate from the minute to the cosmic - passing through the foggy door of the gallery, the viewer finds themselves inside a microscope complete with an aerial view of a city, a virus, or a feast.
| 145 Ainslie at Lorimer, Brooklyn, NY |
Open until December 17th, 12-7pm
