On a light grey floor, aluminum and steel fines compose themselves into straight lines, squares, curves, and four-pointed stars, emerging from formless heaps. Melted and misshapen bricks are arranged amongst the powdered metal.

of things not seen

April 3 – May 30, 2021

Taken by the photojournalist Erich Hartmann in 1982, this vibrant, color photograph features a close-up of an IBM circuit board for a computer. Taken at a slight angle, Hartmann shows three rows of three power amplifiers, with the fourth row cropped and pictured nearly out of frame. They appear as if they are rectangular-shaped skyscrapers, with lights dazzling across thousands of windows. The power amplifiers in the foreground are crisp and in focus, and as the image recedes, they become slightly blurred. The overall hue of the photograph is a burnt orange color, with a few turquoise highlights streaked across the body of specific hardware parts caused from the camera’s flash.

Yacht Metaphor: The Collected Works of @CoryInTheAbyss

April 3 – May 30, 2021

In a colorful collage, multiple posters of a dancing Michael Jackson mingle with two metallic panels and a poster of Michelangelo's famous sculpture, David. In one poster, MJ is mid-dance-move balancing on his tip-toes; he seems to defy gravity. Bronze spray paint adorns the head of David and the head and chest of one of the Michaels. The body of another Michael, covered by an angled rectangle of clear plastic, seems to meet a cloud of bronze paint mid-air. That Michael has a smaller Michael attached to it with blue tape. Soft curved stripes of red, green, and turquoise spray paint, and a hard dripping stripe of white, overlay the upper right side of the piece. In the lower left corner is a small reproduction of an elaborate gilded triptych depicting the Three Kings at the birth of Jesus.

A black and white, landscape-oriented image from 1972 documenting Kate Millett’s installation called *Terminal Piece*. A barrier of wooden-slatted bars spans the length of an otherwise vacuous, cement industrial space. Illuminated from above, and set behind these bars, are two long rows of wooden folding chairs facing out towards the viewer. A mannequin of a lone, Caucasian, female-presenting figure is seated in one chair in the back row (located at the viewer’s right). The rest remain empty.

Kate Millett: Terminal Piece

April 3 – May 30, 2021

A towering projection screen with a wooden scaffold for a base appears in a dark theater. On the screen, a pyramid of bright yellow, sulphurous powder sits atop dark soil in the middle of a model landscape. Powder accumulates around the base of the heap, spreading out towards several blackened, spindly, upright twigs that resemble dead trees. Grey rocks appear on the outer edges of the makeshift horizon, pressed up against a mottled sky painted in blue and white.

Thesis Exhibition

While the Underground Flickers

April 3 – May 30, 2021

An archival document from the registrar’s office at the American Museum of Natural History, dated September 11, 1919. Combining printed information and handwriting, the document informs the accession number assigned to the Mayan sculptures acquired from the Cruger Family, describing them as “Yucatan monuments.”

Thesis Exhibition

Uxmal-on-Hudson

April 3 – May 30, 2021

There is a ceramic sculpture mounted to a white wall with several components. Two curved, pink-red cones face each other-- their exteriors look like blowfish or multiple dolloped Hershey kisses. Inside, the cones are golden and luminescent, with bizarre misshapen bulbs coated in fluorescent green. Two metallic rods attach to the back of each cone, curving toward the wall. The cones lean into each other like long lost twins with their mouths wide open, floating in space.
