Shifting Structures is a site-specific project conceived by Brooklyn-based artist Jane South, who has become known internationally for her elaborate sculptural drawings. Using little more than a scalpel and colored inks, she transforms fragile folded paper into structures that appear industrially reinforced.

The exhibition consists of a single, monumental work made up of hundreds of individual drawing components that are re-configured according to the specifics of the KMA’s gallery. South is interested in responding to the unique architectural features of the space as a challenge to construct the work in unexpected ways. In two previous locations, the work assumed a shadowy, solid form, while at its debut exhibition at our gallery it appeared bright and open, and even allowed viewers to wander inside. Each is made up of a complex network of sculptural drawings resembling cages, boxed grids, latticed arches, and horizontal ladders—some suspended from tiny paper hooks. All her surfaces are defined in some way with colored marks, outlines and crosshatchings. During the latter stages of the installation, museum audiences will be able to watch South assemble her monumental drawing in the gallery.

Exhibition runs from August 27-November 7, 2010

Spencer Brownstone Gallery is excited to announce our upcoming exhibition, the debut New York solo show of Romanian painter Szabolcs Veres.

Veres’ work represents a bold neo-expressionist re-imagining of art historical themes including classical portraiture and hunting landscapes. He employs these traditions as starting points in his canvases, proceeding to break them down in paintings that dramatically collapse distinctions between subject and object, and push his work toward a sumptuous, often disturbingly visceral resolution.

The exhibition opens Friday April 9th, 6-8pm, and continues through May 15th. Read more about the show here and the work of Szabolcs here.
