NYC Gallery Exhibition
For the next two months, cross-cultural, multi-genre, magical and/or visionary objects will be on display in Contained Excitement: Pleasures of the Void at the Cavin-Morris Gallery, 210 Eleventh Avenue, Suite 201, between 24th and 25th, New York, NY. The show focuses on the way artists control the sensual expectations of space in an object. The object is more than an attractive shape; it transgresses against expectations. The void is never really empty; it may contain mysterious objects or be the Mystery itself. In this observation is a secret of the soul of sensuality itself; the strategic withholding or timing of information in order to charge something with energy. Revelation is the artist’s slave. Undergirding Contained Excitement: Pleasures of the Void is a fascination with the nexus points of Art and Design when craft is the tool of process that submits to more conceptual ideas. browngrotta arts has partnered with Cavin-Morris for Contained Excitement. The full press release may be accessed here.
