SATURDAY 23

DIG

Dig is an experiment between the precision of the architectural plan and the looseness of the unknown. The installation and performance explore an intersection of primitivism and contemporary architecture; the complexity of the final surfaces and form suggests a digital origin and conceals the simplicity of a space made entirely by hand. The solid volume is excavated and inhabited by basic necessity, but also engages in careful play with the existing architecture of Storefront. Dig uncovers the inconceivable within the conceivable.” Storefront’s distinctive gallery space has been filled with a solid volume of EPS architectural foam, engulfing the existing interior in an unyielding flood of white. The volume was excavated using simple tools – hammers, picks and chisels, transforming stock industrial material into a strange, unexpected cavern for both work and play. Check out the final vacuous maze created by artist Daniel Arsham at the closing today!
