"Sarah Morris"
2000-06-07 until 2000-08-13
Kunsthalle Zurich
Zurich, ,
CH
Works in gloss household paint on canvas convey an
ambivalent impression between the structure of the
facades of New York skyscrapers and abstraction, between
graphic grids, fields of pop colors, and the effects of
psychedelically distorted perception. Architecture is
reduced to monotonous signs that wipe out spatial or
psychological perspectives.
The picture space does not
become a reproduction of corporate strategies; instead it
is intensified in an interstitial zone through open-ended
modular systems. Synchronous with a new cycle of pictures
that draws on the urban backdrop of Las Vegas, the video
projection am/pm places the glittering sea of lights that
is Las Vegas in relation to its source of power, a gigantic,
empty dam.
Sarah Morris was born in 1967 in the USA, and now lives in London and New York.
