Opening party: WHO IS REALLY SHARP, an exhibition of works by Julie Stavad
- 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm | Tuesday December 13, 2022
- Gallery | Ace Hotel Brooklyn
By playing with the proportions and materialities of things, Julie Stavad investigates our bodies’ modes of decoding objects and their surroundings. Her sculptures bring the body into play through jumps in scale and contrasting effects in materials. Something which is known as small, and perhaps deemed as ‘weak’, is given the size to take up space in a new and surprising way. Surreal compositions between objects and materials question the use of power, function, and emotions.
