Jean-Luc Moulène: More or Less Bone
Collaborating closely with engineers with advanced expertise in formal optimization, Moulène produces an object that is nothing but its own condition of existence: a form defined as efficient for a given set of material conditions and environmental variables. More or Less Bone continues Moulène’s recent investigations into the intersections of advanced technology and contemporary material culture.
Closed for installation, Fiona Connor, SculptureCenter, #4
For her new commission at SculptureCenter, Los Angeles-based artist Fiona Connor produces a set of intersecting works that bring together the artist’s investment in the various operations of sculpture. As concrete objects and ephemeral actions, her works incorporate not only different sites, such as the studio, the workshop, the foundry, the institution, and the library, but also multiple sets of relations and modes of labor: contractual, industrial, emotional, and otherwise.
