ARAKAWA

Mistakes of Blank
(Forming Space)


APRIL 13 – MAY 11
GALLERY HOURS: TUES-SAT 10-6

Unique entrances into exactly X, in which something happens, then something happens and something happens.

"And is that what you need?"
'It could save me decades!"
"As far as what?"
"As far as how to fight off languor so as to be able to conduct more precisely an individual cosmos, for one thing? gigantic."
"These are operational, these paintings, are they?"
"Oh, very much so, functional, definitely."
"But are they paintings? Of what? For what?"
"Better let them inform of this themselves [of all paintings in the world these are some which can do that!], and once beyond that what comes next has not yet been determined, not yet by anyone, although Arakawa and Tom S. Drover are, of course, continuing in that vein – or to mix? still stringing telephone wire or."
"Something to do with how to be spacetime, I presume."
"Oh, one can never presume too much when dealing with atmospheric pressure."
"My dear cosmos, articulations of lightspace – trickles of this which have become lines? but let's stop here."

Ronald Feldman Fine Arts will exhibit large scale paintings by Arakawa from April 13 to May 11. The public is invited to the opening Saturday, April 13th. A reception for the artist will be held from 5 to 7 PM that evening. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM. (Monday by appointment only).
