Peter Vanderwarker:
Interventions
On View: March 7 – 29, 2014
Reception: Friday, March 7, 6 – 8pm
Vanderwarker spent the last two years traveling and looking closely at the natural world. The landscapes and structures that resonated most strongly were ones that resemble the architectural forms he knows so well: an aerial shot of a bridge cutting through open water like a line bisecting a massive form, a frontal view of a New York brownstone seen through a window in the shape of a sideways trapezoid, and a line of trees standing erect like structural supports of a building.
