 Justin Matherly

Paula Cooper Gallery, 534 W21st St., NYC

Matherly takes as his point of departure an excavated temple-tomb, Nemrud Dagi in Turkey. This archeological site contained commemorative stone reliefs, known as stelae, which had been dedicated to the Hellenestic king Antiochus I. Historically, stelae would establish a ruler’s legitimacy by linking him to a particular divinity or sacred event. Using poured and cast concrete supported by ambulatory equipment, Matherly reimagines Antiochus’ stelae. In the works on view, he focuses particularly on the depicted hand clasp gesture (known as “dexiosis”) that recurs throughout this ancient site. The exhibition also includes a series of unique monoprints based on the Nemrud Dagi site, created by transferring wet ink from transparencies onto paper.

Hypnotic Bottle Cap Installations by Eung Ho Park

Artist Eung Ho Park is known for his large-scale installations in which he uses common everyday objects as his material. For his series of bottle cap reliefs, appropriately called “I’m Looking At You”, the artist painted the inside of beer bottle caps to resemble staring eyes, creating entire walls of them to great effect. The result is hundreds of ‘gazes’ looking back at the viewer from the wall of the gallery.

United States Map Made from Thousands of Wood Matches by Claire Fontaine

U.S.A. (burnt/unburnt) is a 2011 installation by Paris-based artist Claire Fontaine(previously) constructed from thousands of green matches that were inserted into a wall at the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art as part art of “Evidence of Bricks” at the 2011 Time-Based Art Festival. Fontaine has made somewhat of a name for herself with hermatch installations and flaming geography, most recently completing a similar U.S.A. map at Queens Nails Gallery in San Francisco. Unlike the installation in Portland above, the Queens Nails artwork was actually set on fire, and while it may not have gone exactly as intended, the final post-flame artwork is impressive nonetheless. Photographs above for PICA by Dan Kvitka.
