ADAM MCEWEN AT THE MARIANNE BOESKY GALLERY, NEW YORK

Purple Diary

New show from New York based artist Adam McEwen takes over Marianne Boesky Gallery‘s uptown space with an exhibition comprised of work created over the past three years. McEwen‘s machined graphite sculptures take inspiration from urban existence including an ATM, air conditioning units, and a safe. The artist highlights their form and function by pulling these objects from their usual context and placing them within a converted uptown townhouse. The framed obituaries of Bret Easton Ellis, Stephanie of Monaco and Richard Prince continue this thread of false existence through out the exhibition. On view through December 17th at the Marianne Boesky Gallery, 118 East 64th street, New York. Text and photo Juliana Balestin
