NEW WORK BY NOAH FURMAN
NEW WORK BY NOAH FURMAN
OPENING RECEPTION MARCH 18TH 6-9PM - READING AT 7PM
MARCH 18 - APRIL 2ND
"The bearded old man on the corner,
The one drinking out of a brown paper bag,
The one who declares himself
The world's greatest ventriloquist,
We are all his puppets, he says
When he chooses to say anything."
-Charles Simi
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.
