Fred Sandback at the David Zwirner Gallery




I found myself at the private view of an exhibition of work by American artist Fred Sandback last night....

By stretching yarn horizontally, vertically, or diagonally at different lengths, scales, and in varied configurations, Fred the artist has developed a singular body of work over the span of his life time that elaborated on the phenomenological experience of space and volume with unwavering consistency and ingenuity.

My friends and I were immediately taken aback by the illusion the yarn caused us when entering the exhibition, the perfect square shaped yarn created a mirror effect. We had some fun with his illusions in the above photo....

The show is on from January 10 - February 16, 2013
