Solo
Exhibition by Tony Feher Tony Feher's exhibition is conceived as a site-specific project that will fill all of the CCS galleries. Feher will design the installation using new work. This is his largest solo show to date. Feher is based in New York. His work has been included in numerous exhibitions, including solo exhibitions at Wooster Gardens (1993), The New Museum of Contemporary Art (1996), and Wesleyan University (1997). Feher emerged as an artist during the 1990s with a body of sculptural work that transforms discarded and often overlooked objects such as plastic bottles, packing crates, glass jars, and marbles into poetic evocations. His work, which is often assembled in serial arrangements of geometric form, has been compared to the minimalist work of Carl Andre and Donald Judd. Instead of the industrially fabricated steel and aluminum materials used by his predecessors, Feher salvages mass-produced plastic and glass objects that retain the markings of their prior use. His works are imbued with an emotional resonance that belies their humble origins. A catalogue will accompany the exhibition and will be the most substantial publication available on Feher's work. This exhibition is made possible by grants from The Peter Norton Family Foundation, Anthony P. Meier, Jr. and Marieluise Hessel. |
