NINA CANELL
13 August - 14 September 2013
Nina Canell’s installations bring together objects that interact with each other through modest arrangements. Electrical debris, wires and neon gas establish sculptural and nearly performative links with natural materials such as water, wood or stones. Her search for sculpture exists somewhere between the material and the immaterial, forming and questioning the conductive relations between the solid objects and mental events.
For this show at Galeria Luisa Strina, Canell has prepared five new objects that use different materials such as glass, neon, bronze and wood.
