Michael A Robinson: The Object as Evidence

Please join us on Wednesday, September 11th from 6-9pm for the opening reception of Michael A. Robinson’s new solo exhibition “The Object as Evidence” in New York City.

Traditionally, sculpture has relied on a special kind of witnessing to establish its truth; you must move around the piece in order to grasp its agency and materiality. “The Object as Evidence” attempts to challenge some of the limitations of sculpture while imagining new ways to trace the truth of objects. Michael A. Robinson reveals an intimate portrait of three-dimensional art and an example of “investigative aesthetics.” The exhibition includes a large light installation and a collection of image-based works and smaller scale sculptures that use techniques of assemblage which challenge the relationships between artist and medium, spectator and sculpture. All of the pieces embody the notion that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

“The Object as Evidence” is supported by The Canada Council for the Arts and remains on view through November 1, 2019.
