Dear Michael,I thought about your new ceramics some more, and in my mind I keep hearing these two words: ShiningDesert. It’s a song by John Frusciante. In part the lyrics, although fairly ambiguous, allude to the making as forinstance in the lines:Put it on a flat space height will make it thin or wideSeen from a distance objects hide in plain sight... Beste Grüße,Marcus. | Presented in the Project Room is Tragedy Plus Time, a group show organized by Michael Dopp. The exhibition iscomprised of four sculptural pieces by Nevine Mahmoud, Krista Mary Martin, Thomas McDonell and Mark Verabioff.A mise-en-scène of materials: marble, rubber, foam, resin. A stage of anticipation, a cuddle puddle of objects. Thecollected works seem to anticipate action, props of speculative desire and pathos.
