The Andrew Kreps Gallery is pleased to present the two-person exhibition, Earth Minutes with artwork by Laura Aldridge and Lee Maida, in the 535 West 22nd Street gallery. Aldridge and Maida’s three-dimensional works evidence an interest in color, the legacy of images and the malleable, textured life of material. The exhibition embraces these works as conduit-vessels, which transmit the labor of creative process (built, pressed, cut, stitched, thought, imagined, analyzed, read, touched). In the artists’ work, ‘material’ can be understood in triple-form: as textile, as a substance from which an artwork is made, and as a subject of inquiry. The latter, compiled from a field of references, including the figure, feminism and the history of art. Earth Minutes is assembled like a Surrealist poem to accentuate the interplay between shapes, content and desire, as they resonate throughout the show.
