Gravity from Breaking Ground works explore man’s first actions and interactions with landscape. A shovel is forced into ground. We lift earth skyward. We turn solid into void into solid. The sculpture and photo-based images in this exhibition define these First Acts.
Allan Wexler has worked in the fields of architecture, design, and fine art for forty-five years. He is represented by the Ronald Feldman Gallery in New York City and teaches in the School of Constructed Environments at Parsons the New School for Design in New York City. Allan’s works explore human activity and the built environment. He works as an investigator using series, permutations, and chance rather than searching for definitive solutions. He makes buildings, furniture, vessels, and utensils as backdrops and props for everyday, ordinary human activity. The works isolate, elevate, and monumentalize our daily rituals: dining, sleeping, and bathing. And they, in turn, become mechanisms that activate ritual, ceremony, and movement, turning these ordinary activities into theater. His works take you on a journey through an invented history of architecture and civilization. They help you see the non-visible, to hover somewhere between the distant and the intimate, to question drawing and photography, and to see the ancient in the contemporary. He wants to make the physical into a transcendent experience.
