New York: Pace Gallery – Eureka
Group Exhibition. At Pace in Chelsea,
the Eureka group exhibition is on until June 27, it features artists who
observe and map the cosmological, metaphysical and scientific through painting,
sculpture and music. Eureka takes its name from Edgar Allan Poe’s eponymous
prose poem published in 1848.
Above. Tim Hawkinson – Gimbled
Klein Basket – 2007. He explores the
fourth dimension with his Gimbled Klein
Basket, which creates an analog rendering of an impossible object.
With a porous, gridded bamboo structure, he recreated the Klein bottle and
suspended it from the ceiling like a Calder mobile, envisioning an object that
is at once knowable and of another dimension.

“I design to speak of the Physical, Metaphysical
and Mathematical—of the Material and Spiritual Universe:—of its Essence, its
Origin, its Creation, its Present Condition and its Destiny. I shall be so
rash, moreover, as to challenge the conclusions, and thus, in effect, to
question the sagacity, of many of the greatest and most justly reverenced of
men.”

Gowin’s aerial landscape photographs document both natural and human
destruction inflicted on the environment. His crisp images render nearby sites
alien, serving as relics of a shifting ecology.
