Jesse Greenberg
January 10 - February 8, 2014
Opening Reception: Friday, January 10, 6-8pm
The biological forms evoked by Greenberg’s wall works and small sculptures are as familiar as
they are discomforting. Composed of urethane resin and colored pigment, the works contain
percolating bubbles and a flowing alchemy, a painterly quality complimented by a palette that is
alternately seductive and repulsive. Greenberg says, “I’m witness to these bizarre fluid
moments, and though I’m making sculpture, my medium is liquids, and the membranes that
contain them.” His work reflects back to the post-minimalism of Eva Hesse and Lynda Benglis
and forward to the post-human future conjured by David Croenenberg and a new generation of
visual artists.
