Michael Zelehoski - New Order
May 7 – June 20, 2015

Mike Weiss Gallery is pleased to present New Order, the first solo exhibition by Michael Zelehoski with the gallery. Zelehoski takes found three-dimensional objects like pallets and police barricades and restructures them into two-dimensional space. The resulting works are not mirrors of the objects but instead examine and challenge the selective process of human perception in its most abstract and creative tendencies. By working somewhere in between the separate domains of sculpture’s core dimensionality and painting’s historical flatness, Zelehoski’s work also mixes in the formalist ethos of emphasizing composition. The exhaustive process of metamorphosis in Zelehoski’s work fluidly moves between fully-formed objects and binary abstraction, pursuing the possibilities and intricacies of perception. READ MORE
