Peninsula Art Space, New York 6 pieces of corian
Working across different media, Dewey-Hagborg, Weber Herrera, Savva, and Six gesture towards techniques of uncovering and concealing, projecting and laying bare, to compose bodies and populate space with forms. While Dewey-Hagborg and Weber Herrera’s works deal specifically with questions of gender and embodiment, Savva and Six explore the life of forms, revealing through subtle yet complex manipulations the relationship of objects to their surrounding environment.
Kato Six’s sculptural works and interventions upon the walls of the gallery operate in a space akin to what Duchamp called the infrathin: they subtly refer to the categories of materiality and immateriality, interiority and exteriority, referentiality and autonomy, only to disturb such binaries. Oscillating between images and sculptures, while placing the two on the same plane, Six’s works privilege sight as the first form of experience. Words fall away.
