Description
New York-based artist Tony Feher has created a long-term, site-determined installation for Arthouse's new second-floor gallery. Site-determined is a term Feher borrows from artist Robert Irwin, whose work from the 60s and 70s explored the act of perception with, seemingly simple architectural interventions. For his Arthouse commission, Feher has activated and transformed a typically overlooked architectural space within th ebuilding-the void between the ceiling and steel support beams-through a carefully considered deployment of everyday objects. Feher is well-known for his uncanny ability to reveal the innate beauty in mundane objects and here, via simple repetition and ingenious display, he magically recasts them as a poetic constellation that twinkles from above, mysterious and captivating field suggestive of the night sky and inspiring wonder, awe, and delight.
