Volume

Sweetwater is pleased to present Volume, a group exhibition featuring works by Mary Helena Clark, Laurent Dupont and Alexandre Khondji.

Mary Helena Clark’s Brooder series consists of photographs of egg incubators, fashioned from polystyrene, cardboard, masking tape, and heat lamps, and constructed following advice found in various forums and guides. Recent solo exhibitions of Clark’s have been held at Cushion Works (San Francisco, CA, United States), Hoffman Donahue (New York, NY, United States), and the MIT List Visual Arts Center (Cambridge, MA, United States).

Laurent Dupont’s works situate themselves between sculpture and painting, between reproduction and readymade. Each begins with a found cardboard box; Dupont then paints over the original markings, transforming the object into a painted copy of itself. Recent exhibitions of Dupont’s have been held at Gauli Zitter (Brussels, Belgium), Plymouth Rock (Zurich, Switzerland), and the Kunstverein Nürnberg (Nuremberg, Germany).

The two monitors of Alexandre Khondji’s Double Insert each display a static video feed of an endoscopic camera routed inside nearby walls, making visible the structural components of the exhibition space’s architecture. Recent exhibitions of Khondji’s have been held at Fondation Pernod Ricard (Paris, France) and Sweetwater (Berlin, Germany).
