Assistant Professor Sue Havens at Underdonk Gallery in NYC
Underdonk is pleased to present 鈥淢odular Mosaic,鈥� co-organized by Leonora Loeb and Elisa Soliven. This group exhibition consists of twelve artists, including Eleanna Anagnos, Zo毛 Cohen, Rachel Frank, Priscilla Fusco, Ann/drew Gayle, Sue Havens, Matt Merkle Hess, Steve Keister, Alison Kudlow, Pooneh Maghazehe, Dionis Ortiz, and Eun-Ha Paek. Each artist constructs their pieces using modular parts to form a whole, while utilizing a range of materials, including paper pulp, wood, fabric, ceramics, glass, and resin.
In the mid-90s, Steve Keister developed the idea of an 鈥渁ncient-modern鈥� correlation, seeing the connection between his collection of styrofoam cartons and the inspiration that he gathered from sculptural relief forms of ancient Mesoamerican architecture. Through casting and mold-making techniques, he embodies this correlation in 鈥楶ower Chord鈥�, a stack of seven-colored monochrome plaques. Sue Havens also works with modular ceramic parts and a synthesis of language that is both contemporary and ancient. Shifting between painting and sculpture, Havens works 鈥渨ith indexical painting languages from a broad history in New York, (her) surroundings in Tampa, and from hundreds of photographs from Turkey.鈥�
