Event Details

Locust Projects is excited to present Pore, an exhibition of new work by Brooklyn-based artist Martha Friedman, whose artistic practice is always highly intelligent, yet never without a sense of the surreal and absurd. Using over one thousand pounds of rubber, Friedman will produce four large-scale rubber “pours” on-site at Locust Projects, which will be rigged to hang from the ceiling and cascade onto the floor. The “pours” are connected to four wearable sculptures, custom-made for dancer and choreographer Silas Riener, Friedman’s collaborator and muse. Each semi- translucent colored sheet of rubber represents one of the four humors, the theory of which formed the foundation of Western medicine, up until the nineteenth century.
