Event Description
In fallen and found, his fourth exhibition with Deluge Contemporary Art, Daniel Laskarin returns to a decades-old preoccupation with the role of the sculptor as matterist. In the eponymous works which comprise the show's title and stack, as well as newer works from an ongoing narrative of small wall pieces, Laskarin seems to have reached the apotheosis of the considered haptic possibilities contained in the materiality of his artistic output. In fallen, a 7' rectangular log of steel has been aerated by double-ought buckshot to perform a kind of gaseous release of ineffable matter -- whateveritis bubbling forth from its metallic containment, perhaps lighter than air. Although suggestive, from a distance, of something ancient and built up from accretion, fallen defies this assumption through the discreet feet which raise it slightly off the ground: resting on the opposite of its laurels for a current appraisal of its formal properties.
