Description
Always Under ConstructionWindow Installation
Ilana Crispi
Reception June 27, 4-7PM
Ilana Crispi is a ceramic and mixed media artist based in SF. Focusing on the space around things, instead of the things themselves, Crispi has sculpted shadows and footprints of objects no longer present. With her installation at ATA, Crispi is creating sculptural translations of previous actions.
Things will be changing throughout the month. Salt crystals are growing on the glass. In an abstraction of the background of Durer’s Melencolia, rainbow forms and comets from Saturn have come forward and hit the window. 17th century explorations of perspective have gone from two dimensional illusions to occupy actual space.
The window has been a place to display and to look. Crispi is looking at ways of navigating illustrations of what we see. What you will see is a view of what usually happens behind closed doors. Instead of a polished presentation, this one is always under construction.
