World War IV • A group sculpture show featuring six artists • January 22nd - March 5th, 2016
Freshly unfamiliar, or a different version of something you thought you already knew. It’s like waking up from what you thought was going to be the next morning, but decades have passed. Hello, WW IV. The perpetual battle is to pick through the remains of objects; their durable brutish parts; the parts that tell you what a thing is but don’t quite make is functional. There’s a whirring sound, but no obvious source. The skeletal infrastructure remains. It simplifies and immortalizes what once was, becoming the foundation for venturing onward.
