Yvon Lambert (old location), New York
Principles of Social Topology. New works based on the single surfaces of the Moebius strip, the Gordrian knot, and in three dimensions, the Klein's bottle. Reyes' works elicit reversible meanings, particularly evident in his new language-based sculptures. When read from one side, one word appears. From the reverse side, a completely different word is found.
Principles of Social Topology
Yvon Lambert New York is pleased to announce PEDRO REYES: Principles of Social Topology, the artist’s first solo exhibition in New York. The exhibition will feature all
new works based on the single surfaces of the Moebius strip, the Gordrian knot, and in three dimensions,
the Klein’s bottle. Reyes’ works elicit reversible meanings, particularly evident in his new language-based
sculptures. When read from one side, one word appears. From the reverse side, a completely different
word is found.
Reyes’ work addresses the boundaries of physical and social spaces, illuminating the connection between
the body and its immediate environment. His expanded notion of sculpture examines the often
diametrically opposed tensions of modern life, from the human sentiments of love and hate, to the
symbiotic relationship of language and geometry.
Concurrent to this exhibition, Reyes’ work is featured at the Seattle Art Museum’s new Olympic Sculpture
Park in Seattle, Washington from January 20th. Immediately following the Yvon Lambert exhibition, the
artist will have a second New York solo show at The Americas Society (February 22 - May 5, 2007).
Reyes’ work has been shown at institutions throughout the world, including the Carpenter Center for
Visual Arts at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts; the Aspen Art Museum, Colorado; the
Reina Sofia, Madrid; the South London Gallery, UK; the Jumex Collection, Mexico City; P.S.1, New York;
and Witte de With, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
