Art in the Corner Room
Exhibition Series
The Corner Room, 1st Floor
Mid-Manhattan Library
455 Fifth Avenue
New York, NY 10016
The
Art and Picture Collections at Mid-Manhattan Library present Sideways
a site-specific exhibition of sculptures
by artist Annette Cords. Suspended in the windows of the Corner Room, the
artist’s wire mesh sculptures define space and invoke time. Lacking mass, these
sculptures create volume by delineating space rather than occupying it. The wire mesh functions much like a three-dimensional drawing
that unfolds in time. Forms appear transient and ephemeral as they shift into
lines; moiré patterns come into view and disappear again. Curling and pivoting
within the fixed architectural framework of the library, the sculptures turn
into shape-shifters against the moving backdrop of the street.
Please join us for a What
Inspires Artists series event on Tuesday October 1st at 6:30 p.m.
inside the Corner Room. Annette Cords and senior art librarian Arezoo Moseni
discuss weaving and physics the two main sources of influence on the artist’s
work.
Poet Jeremy Sigler joins Annette Cords for An Artist Dialogue series event on Saturday December 7 at 2:30 p.m. inside the Corner Room.
Art in the Corner Room exhibition series is curated by Arezoo Moseni.
