With his most recent illuminated hybrid sculptures, Fischer continues his investigation of artworks that defy easy classification. Physically, Polyluminators hover totem-like close to the floor; figuratively, they hover somewhere between the worlds of art, design, architecture, and technology.
Polyluminators
Please join us for the opening of Polyluminators, an exhibition of new work
by R.M. Fischer, on Saturday, October 12th, from 6-8pm. Sandra Gering
Gallery is located at 534 West 22nd Street, between 10th and 11th Avenues.
With his most recent illuminated hybrid sculptures, Fischer continues his
investigation of artworks that defy easy classification. Physically,
Polyluminators hover totem-like close to the floor; figuratively, they
hover somewhere between the worlds of art, design, architecture, and
technology. Made from an assembled collection of "off the shelf"
polyethylene globes, chrome and wood balls, and metal lighting components,
the artworks combine a handmade improvisational baroque aspect with the
formal aesthetics of functional design. The work seems simultaneously
primal and futuristic. Its sources range from Cycladic figures, through
Milton Berle, Fantastic Voyage, and the Osaka Expo of 1970.
Fischer's sculptures are in the permanent collections of numerous major
museums and his acclaimed public artworks function as iconographic
timepieces in cities across the nation and in Japan. Concurrent with the
New York exhibition, his Union Square Colonnade, consisting of four custom
street light sculptures, will be permanently installed in Union Square Park
in downtown San Francisco. In the spring of 2003, a major public work,
commissioned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, will be
installed at the new Jamaica Station in Queens.
Gallery hours are Tuesday Saturday, 10am-6pm.
