\u201cLonging leads out far too often into vagueness\u201d \u2014Rainer Maria Rilke<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his first solo exhibition at Bradley Ertaskiran, David Armstrong Six premieres a new body of sculptural work composed entirely in basswood and charred basswood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evolving out of a studio-based activity predicated on daily experimentation and intuitive thinking, the new sculptures are the result of what the artist indexes as \u201ca protracted conceptual arc\u201d, suspended over the course of the past four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What finally arrives as the work, gets \u201crehearsed\u201d in the studio, often through drawing and writing, as speculations upon gesture, seriality, mutability, and perception. There is a capricious curiosity aggregated by the artist over time, towards the build, and surrender, to muscle-memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Precedents may be gleaned from the postmodern choreography of Merce Cunningham, who often relied on dancers\u2019 deeply ingrained physical memory of movements, allowing them to perform complex, sometimes seemingly random sequences with fluidity and precision. Or, from the late 19th century photographic experiments of \u00c9tienne-Jules Marey, whose attempts to study movements in air were articulated by the propulsion of smoke through wind tunnels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artist defers to the freestanding and wall-based sculptures as \u201ccreatural flows within an omnidirectional book of longing\u201d. Installed as a scenographic envelope within the main gallery, lie down with holograms <\/em>thus generates a pliable script, which invites the viewer into a collaborative dimension of interference wavelengths, apparition, and experiential play. There is no fixed symbolism or vantage point here. Rather, the sculptures reveal entity incrementally; both individually and collectively, as nascent matter, in a perpetual state of becoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artist would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Iliana, L\u00e9a, Aim\u00e9e, Ji-Yoon, Patti, Maude, Julia, Zena, Tony, Patrick, James, Abbas, Eli, and Tim. Bradley Ertaskiran is thrilled to present this new body of provocative work, which is the artist\u2019s first solo exhibition since Night School in 2019 at Fonderie Darling.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
