"Union Square" Exhibiton
Taxter & Spengemann
This event has ended.
We don’t know whether this is a celebration or a lament. But we do know we’ve found ourselves in dialogue with a strain of Modernism running from Malevich to Albers to Stella, and his former studio, (itself a former horse market) in Union Square.
It’s here that the rigor got perverted, by adding layers of complexity and chaos to the order. This is where the triumph of control starts to lose it to a shot of folk-art color, and an upgrade to the grand American scale.
In this place, there are sturdy steel pegs jutting from the unfinished brick walls, which once held aluminum monstrosities, bathed in afternoon sunlight by a soaring sky-lit roof. Now, a new prefab glass storefront, hastily and cheaply installed seemingly for the sole
purpose of adhering a blaring broker’s poster, guards a slightly pinched and sloping entryway. But like entering a cathedral, the dim introduction gives way to that glorious interior, rife with spirit.
