Rey Akdogan @ Hannah Hoffman


























Happy sunlighting accident? Poorly placed or intentional? Figuring out what sticks (adheres). Tenuous connections. Attention-getting ploy of orange stripe (cf. Valerie Snobeck or Virginia Overton). That said, I do like the part I understand directly as a function of the plastic curtain; it really does divide space atmospherically and changes the sense of space phenomenologicallly. Of course, one also knows this conceptually having ever entered a refrigerated portion of a warehouse, perhaps Costco.  As such, the remaining wares in the show pale experientially by comparison, conceptually and formally. Frail, faint, barely there... Again, tenuous. Kind of reminds me of my first attempts out of grad school, in a good way despite what it may seem.  For erasure and excavation is not a bad place to be.

Filtration.  Light or matter? Votive.
