DONALD LIPSKI: Pieces of String Too Short to Save

July 30  to November 27 2016 - This exhibition illustrates his steadfast use of commercial objects, Lipski continues the legacy of twentieth-century artists, including Arman, Joseph Cornell, and Marcel Duchamp. His ongoing investigations into conditions of materiality, composition, and site specificity affirm a connection to the Dada, Surrealism, Pop, and Minimalism art movements.

Lipski sculpture is often a two-part acknowledgment—seeing a recognizable object and then appreciating the artist’s engagement with it. This can involve isolating a single item for contemplation, presenting vast quantities of things brought together for maximum impact, or altering materials through processes of slicing, weaving, wrapping, piercing, and stacking.
