Artist: Paweł Althamer
Anton Kern Gallery presents Artist/Studio, an exhibition of new work by Paweł Althamer. This is his second exhibition at the gallery and his third in New York, following The Neighbors at the New Museum in 2014.
For Artist/Studio, Althamer will move his studio from Warsaw to the gallery. In the weeks leading up to the opening, he will make sculptures on site using materials found in New York: discarded objects, clothing, shoes, etc.... The figures are built on armatures of welded steel and rebar and completed with faces, and masks, some brought from Poland and others made in the gallery. Althamer works across welding, woodworking, ceramics, and assemblage. He refers to faces as “portals to the soul.”
