Karlis Rekevics
Leached of color save for some weepy brown stains, Rekevics's plaster walls, girders, and beams feel like the forgotten corner of a plaza in some city of tomorrow that got stalled in the poured-concrete frenzy of the sixties. Yet there is a witty interplay between the curving walls and negative spaces of the girders, and the elements, arrayed in sets of three, speak to each other across the open areas of the installation. Artificial lights cast gloomy shadows up the wall and diffuse half-moon shapes onto the floor, a wan contrast of warm and cool. If you have someone you want to break up with, this might be the perfect setting.
