On view: September 9 - October 22, 2021

View Exhibition

‘Landings’ at 57W57 Arts, is a presentation of works made in 2020 and 2021 by Al Svoboda. They are paintings floating through the studio to find a place to stick, some with aggressive personalities and others with light tenuity, becoming members of a larger constellation. There is a malleable and shifting, secret distance between painting and stapling, removing and moving, fixing and seeing; as if a conversation could be edited again and again, ultimately left inconclusive and open ended. There is a dot and a marking, crushed rubbing, in a field, soundtrack of place, soundtrack of time, think you are seeing something, center of your stomach or center of a pit, transformation, passive prediction, friction and force, patina and scrap.

Al Svoboda (*1991) lives and works in New York City.
