The artist and poet Peter Nadin's first New York exhibition in over twenty years transforms Gavin Brown's Enterprise into a bizarre religious and mythical forest with reductive tree-like pedestals raising their objects far above eye level. First Mark upends the conventions of viewing art with works placed high and low, reflecting the artist's interest in how found objects fuction outside their usual context. Nadin sourced many of his materials locally on his Catskills farm--turning beeswax, chicken eggs, and pollen into sacred scuplture and painting. Especially powerful are the honey, wax and paint canvases which remind of David Hammons' use of Kool-aid for his abstract paintings. Both artists transform mundane materials with a combination of the accidental and intentional. Photo and text Juliana Balestin
First Mark by Peter Nadin is on view through July 30 at Gavin Brown's Enterprise, 620 Greenwich Street, New York.
