Aaron Curry: MMNKTLPLKT

New York: Michael Werner, 2011. A near-fine copy. 11.5 x 8 inches. Profusely illustrated in color. Original wrappers, with acetate covering. First edition. "Michael Werner Gallery is pleased to announce MMNKTLPLKT, an exhibition of new works by Aaron Curry, on view at 20 Hoxton Square in London from 20 September through 20 October.

With MMNKTLPLKT, Aaron Curry disregards the confines of the traditional white cube to create an environment of complete optical immersion and confusion. Dazzling patterns cover the walls and floor of the gallery, alternately mirroring and obscuring the painted sculptures that stand, lean and hang throughout the (truncated) space. The exhibition continues across the street from the gallery with two monumental sculptures installed in Hoxton Square Park. This ambitious installation brings to a new level of complexity the artist’s exploration of the relationships between drawing and form, abstraction and figuration, and spaces both real and virtual. The result is a contemporary Merzbau, resounding with echoes of surrealist abstraction, Picasso and the digitized dimensions of cyberspace" (the publisher). (Inventory #: 408741)
