Noah Furman: Street Ventriloquist
@ Roxaboxen Exhibitions
2130 W 21st St, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Friday, March 18th, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Saturday, April 2nd
Noah Furman’s sculptures and paintings take root in intuitive drawings, pulling from a lexicon of forms that reference cartoons, tropes of abstract painting, letterforms and early modern sculpture. These recent works examine the creative act itself and the process of translation, transformation, and embodiment that takes place in object making. Existing somewhere between abstraction and representation, the works in Street Ventriloquist activate and breathe life into their simple materials, and seek to occupy a pre-lingual and experiential state.
