‘Geometry As Image’

ROBERT MILLER GALLERY ‘GEOMETRY AS IMAGE’ MAY 2008

wd/gs set 4/30 #737554  

NEW YORK CITY — Robert Miller Gallery is presenting “Geometry as Image” through June 30.

Geometry persists as a vernacular for contemporary artists. It continues to flourish in innumerable guises, often in transgressive dialogue with the pure and reductive aesthetics of its modernist past. This exhibition brings together works from differing media and practices. The geometric forms found in theses works are not platonic, absolute, concrete or fixed, but rather use the language of geometry in particular subjectivity. The works presented here reclaim geometry not as fact or ideal but “as image.”

In his untitled neon corner piece, 1969 Keith Sonnier uses neon line to describe volume in space, creating a work that becomes a perceptual event transcending objecthood.

Anthony McCall is one of the seminal artists of American avant garde cinema. His suite of drawings, “Studies for Leaving (360° rotation, seen from the left and from the right),” 2006, is a study for a light projection piece. McCall’s works have evolved from cinema to the realm of sculpture.

Llya Bolotowsky applies geometric abstraction to a three-dimensional form. Flat planes of color articulate a three-dimensional form to imply rectilinear color volume.
