In a Shaded Corner of the Room; The Curtains Partly Drawn; Beyond the Shadow of a Thin Wall; A Dim Light into the Clearing; Reveals its own Private Wilderness
Summary
Ian Pedigo’s sculptural assemblages are composed of the leftovers of human pursuits, such as discarded metal and string, as well as items that adversely portray a sense of the wild: sticks, rocks, animal bone. Aspects of the exhibition that are often considered peripheral – the titles, the surrounding architecture – are also rendered as materials. For his exhibition at Galleri Rotor, Pedigo has taken the short story “Cares of Family Man” by Franz Kafka as his entry point for the creation of new site-specific work in conversation with curator Laura Mott.
