anonymous is happy to announce the 2nd edition of the exhibition 100 Sculptures. Opening May 13 in Paris, France, the show will remain on view for one week and will include a vernissage / opening reception: Thursday, May 16 from 6-8 pm.
Curated with Todd von Ammon, 100 Sculptures is as advertised: one hundred small sculptures created by over one hundred international artists. The only given framework being that no sculpture have more than a 5 x 5 inch (12.7 x 12.7 cm) footprint.
This traveling, regenerative, and celebratory exhibition is a meshwork; an extremely populous show with the objective to create the most dynamic, non-hierarchical system that is possible within the limited confines of a gallery space. The one hundred (+) objects on view have the ability to interact with and decode one another freely. The exhibition acts like a circuit board, wherein each artwork behaves like an attractor in a network.
Through the use of media including casts, cloth, ceramic, found object, paper, bronze, concrete, aluminum, and many others, the pieces on view appear as plush, metallic, functional, mobile, automated, geometric, sensual, rhythmic, or even biologically subversive. Meanwhile the works conceptually range from spiritual and optimistic to dark, disarming, and uncanny. Each piece, despite its diminutive scale, maintains its own singularity and pathos amongst many other similarly sized objects. Together, shown at their maximum degree of variety and difference, each work assembles their own mutual logics and codes.
100 Sculptures, organized by Joseph Ian Henrikson and Todd von Ammon, was first presented at anonymous gallery in Mexico City (September 2018). The participating artists represent a majority of those with whom the curators have collaborated over the last decade. It is the intention of the curators to continue traveling the exhibition for a period of one year, supplementing new works from already participating artists and inviting more to upcoming locations.
