PHOEBE WASHBURN
Nunderwater Nort Lab
in collaboration with Mary Boone Gallery
Zach Feuer Gallery, in collaboration with Mary Boone Gallery, is pleased to present two exhibitions by Phoebe Washburn: Nunderwater Nort Lab, a site-specific installation, at Zach Feuer Gallery and Temperatures in a Lab of Superior Specialness, an exhibition of new sculpture, at Mary Boone Gallery.
Phoebe Washburn's work explores generative systems based on absurd patterns of production often created by inefficiency. The rules that govern Washburn's systems of production inform her sculpture and installation formally as well as conceptually.
Exhibition dates: June 30-August 12, 2011
Zach Feuer Gallery | 548 West 22nd Street | New York | NY | 10011
