Tom Friedman : New Work
Luhring Augustine, 531 W24th St., NYC
American artist Tom Friedman is known for his meticulously crafted sculptures and works on paper that inhabit the intersections between the ordinary and the monstrous, the infinitesimal and the infinite, the rational and the uncanny.
This exhibition includes all new work, both sculptures as well as works on paper, in a wide range of materials, scales, and genres. Among the pieces exhibited is a new self-portrait, a still-life sculpture, abstract wall works, text drawings, and a new large-scale stainless steel sculpture. Several works explore ideas of technology through an analog lens, such as a life-size video camera hand-crafted from wood and paint; a handmade wall collage with an upbeat futuristic pattern that mimics a high-tech flat screen; and an antiquated television screen with a pixelated static pattern made of tiny hand-applied paint tiles.
