如果你期待雕塑家托马斯·豪萨戈在他最危险的时候,你将在这个冬天在豪泽进行另一种不同的冒险。
这里的环境让人身临其境,长11m×14米,有350万高的石膏墙,这在曼哈顿是罕见的,甚至按照房地产标准也是如此。但与砖瓦和灰泥不同的是,它采用了豪萨戈著名的粗糙、粗糙的灰泥质量,可见的钢筋钉类似突出的肋骨,这是一种身体上的怪癖,赋予了它一种拟人化的品质。艺术家已经从灰泥墙壁上剪下了新月和圆圈,然后把它们重新铺在其他地方,形成了一个几何形状的浮雕。在“视觉迷宫”中徘徊,思考这些空洞和开裂的纹理,就像栖息在荷马哥的一个空心眼睛的身体的头部。
“鼠标室”指的是墙壁上的表面和形状,就像月亮的相位。你也可以说,这条路线的异域性就像一次月球漫步。然而,它也向穆纳·菲杜里致敬,这是家庭主妇离婚后的关系。这种关系对艺术家来说是一个起点,艺术本身也是如此。豪萨戈去了一个不那么咄咄逼人、更成功的新地方-我们非常乐意加入他的行列。
