We will host a curatorial tour with bagels and coffee of our current exhibition STEADY: Michelle Lopez and Ester Partegàs.
STEADY: Michelle Lopez and Ester Partegàs
The word "steady" implies a continuous state of becoming balanced, developed, and supported. The act of steadying requires a physical, structural, and conceptual interdependence. In this two-person exhibition, Michelle Lopez and Ester Partegàs's precarious, playful, and powerful sculptures harness physical and material components –– even using the ground below and the air above. Instead of separation and assertion, there is a counterbalance.
The sculptures in STEADY ask us to question how the world is built the way it is, and why. They offer a broader reflection on the balance of power through form, as it extends into the world at large. As the Wattis welcomes audiences to its new galleries on the CCA expanded campus, the works propose ways of inhabiting, holding, sharing, and gathering in space.
This exhibition comes to the Wattis from Ballroom Marfa, and is curated by Daisy Nam and organized by Diego Villalobos.
