September 7, 2006- October 14, 2006
Reception: September 7, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Alice Könitz
Hudson Franklin
508 W 26th StHudson Franklin is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new sculptures and mixed-media works by Alice Könitz, on view from September 7 to October 14, 2006.
Könitz continues her exploration of crafting objects from low-budget materials using mid-century Modernist shapes. In particular, this exhibition features a unique, handcrafted magazine in which advertising models seem to dwell in a storybook of Könitz's peculiar world of modular shapes and architecture. The complex homemade table covered in gold Chromolux paper that displays the magazine exemplifies the conflation of domestic design and fantasy seen throughout her work.
Alice Könitz received an M.F.A. from California Institute of the Arts in 1999. Recent reviews of her work have appeared in Artforum, frieze and Sculpture magazines. This is her second solo exhibition with Hudson Franklin.
