ART IS FOR THE SPIRIT: RECORDS OF THE SELF

Jennifer Bartlett, David Hammons and Robert Gober coexist in this exceptional selection orchestrated by Ivy Shapiro at the Paula Cooper Gallery. This gathering of works interrogates the trace of the individual and the expression of the intimate through varied media, ranging from geometric rigor to everyday objects repurposed. The strength of this juxtaposition lies in the dialogue between major figures of the contemporary scene who, each in their own way, attempt to capture the essence of human experience. Kazuko Miyamoto brings her delicate textile work while Joel Shapiro sculpts space with a striking physical tension. This itinerary functions as a visual logbook where creation becomes a mirror of consciousness. Free admission allows easy access to these major pieces, often from the most prestigious international collections.
