Description

10 May - 28 June 2014; Opening reception Saturday, May 10, 4-6pm

Uruguayan artist Marco Maggi fills more than 6,000 square feet of exhibition space with miniscule drawing and sculptures that are virtually invisible except for the shadows they cast.

Maggi is renowned for virtuoso drawing and innovative applications of common materials uncommonly used in artmaking. His tightly packed, inscriptive encryptions have been compared to microchips, satellite imagery and archaic alphabets. But there's more to the work than technical skill and formal allure. Maggi continues to use blindness as a metaphor for our inability to digest the mass of information in the information age and our incapacity to see through the half-truths of mass media.
