Ochi Projects is pleased to present a shape made through its unraveling, a solo exhibition featuring work by Molly Larkey. The exhibition will be on view from Saturday, September 9th through Saturday, October 21st with an opening reception on September 9th from 5-8pm.Over the last several years, Larkey’s work has existed within a framework of the utopian, combining aspects of language, sculpture, painting, and architecture to create structures that defy categorization. For this exhibition, Larkey has shifted from conceiving of the utopian as inherently unrealizable, to imagining, in conjunction with others, how we can create beneficial structures that are well within the field of the possible. The central premise of the show is that art can help formulate what supportive social and economic structures might look like. To this end, the work in the exhibition reconfigures existing frames of reference - such as the alphabet - in order to offer possibilities other than those presented by patriarchal capitalism. Visitors are invited to engage with the work in dynamic ways that create connection between the participants to generate new visceral/lived frameworks for viable social and economic exchange.
