• Freymond-Guth Fine Arts | Harlem, New York USA
• May 2016
• The first exhibition of Freymond-Guth Fine Arts at 213 East 121st Street in Harlem choses to display works by a group of artists in ways that support the ideas of a gentle exploration of the space, its setting in a new gallery building and the architectural history of the former firehouse. The title “Touching surface, touching ground” as well as the decision to lay all exhibited works onto one large plinth following the uneven surface of the floor, illustrate an approach that is about arrangement and juxtaposition, possibly coincidental, possibly carefully chosen parallels among the exhibited works of 6 artists spanning over three generations. Title and display can also be understood as a notion of arrival and inspection. The exhibition space has been left unrenovated apart from a coat of white paint the works, of which only a few a usually presented as objects, guide the viewer through an open narrative both among works but also from there back into and onto the space that becomes exhibited itself.
