Lawrence Weiner "Within Grasp" Is On View Now At the Mai 36 Pop Up Gallery In Zurich

Within Grasp will include both old and new work, as well as a Wunderkammer view of Lawrence Weiner’s work over the years, in the new temporary Pop-Up-Showroom of Mai 36 Galerie. It is in the context of their presentation that his works come into their own. They are notions and associations that take shape in the mind, in the multiple references that any person viewing the work chooses it to be. The works are forged in the relationship between the sense of place and the eye and mind of the beholder. As he puts it, "ART IS AND MUST BE AN EMPIRICAL REALITY CONCERNED WITH THE RELATIONSHIPS OF HUMAN BEINGS TO OBJECTS AND OBJECTS TO OBJECTS IN RELATION TO HUMAN BEINGS." Within Grasp will be on view until July 31, 2015 at Mai 36 Galerie, Rämistrasse 37 CH-8001 Zürich. photos courtesy of Mai 36 Galerie

MICHEL PÉREZ POLLO @ Mai 36

mai_36_MICHEL_PÉREZ_POLLO

Michel Pérez Pollo paintings may seem childlike and naive, his concern is to avoid faithful accuracy in favor of a universal expression. His models are figures and shapes made of modeling clay, which he greatly enlarges and exaggerates when painting them. Pérez is more interested in the fundamental constellations of human existence and interaction than in any popular ubiquitous and increasingly hollow social criticism. Michel Pérez Pollo New Workwill be on view at the Mai 36 Galerie until December 20, 2014, Rämistrasse 37 CH-8001 Zürich
