SWEET REMAINS |

June 16 – July 15, 2007 |

Crawl Space member artist Diana Falchuk is pleased to present her solo exhibition Sweet Remains, a continued exploration of histories and aging. In compliment to her public works that often venerate and give new life to worn and overlooked public fixtures (utility poles, post office boxes), Sweet Remains exhibits works based on the artist's private collection of carefully aged and reconfigured artifacts.
In her studio-cum-laboratory, Falchuk scars, discolors or otherwise ages a collection of bodies - fruits and vegetables, textiles and other household fibers. Physically imbuing the pieces with history and character, the artist carefully alters the remains of these degraded bodies to form new hybrids of what once was. Accompanying the sculptures in Sweet Remains is a series of drawings that takes inspiration from the sculptures' irregular surfaces and conglomerate forms. |
