PAINTING / SCULPTURE featured in The Brooklyn Rail

July 3, 2024

PAINTING / SCULPTURE by Peter Halley and Steph Gonzalez-Turner was featured in The Brooklyn Rail in “Painting / Sculpture / Architecture” by Edgar Rodriguez.

“Painting / Sculpture is not a traditional group show. The close interaction between Halley’s wall painting, Gonzalez-Turner’s pieces, and the building makes the exhibition feel like a collaborative work of art, complementing and heightening aspects of each other. The artist’s interventions in the building allow us to perceive the gallery’s space from an expanded cultural, historical, and aesthetic perspective. Overall, this exhibition is an essay on architecture—a response through painting and sculpture to the influence of the discipline of architecture as a cultural practice whose impact extends beyond the design and construction of buildings. Furthermore, this exhibition might be signaling a new chapter in Halley’s work, one beyond the two-dimensional plane that slips past sculpture and engages with space at an architectural level. Whether it is considered through a representational, indexical, or procedural lens, architectural ideas transcend disciplinary boundaries and thus may operate through diverse media types. This exhibition is an exquisite invitation to explore the possibilities of this condition in a refreshingly contemporary approach to painting, sculpture, and architecture.”
