"I am smashing all of my previous attempts and futile contemporary gestures, placing them into a mortar, and grinding them down with a pestle. If I put all of these remnants into a basin, and it gets taken away from me, then I am no longer responsible for all my misdirected efforts."
—Sterling Ruby
This video presents the exhibition of new ceramic sculptures and paintings by Sterling Ruby, at Gagosian, 980 Madison Avenue, New York. In his paintings, collages, sculptures, and videos, Ruby infuses the formal with the abject, allowing materials to melt and overlap in biomorphic and geomorphic aggregations. Ruby’s current exhibition features the largest basins that he has produced to date in the Basin Theology series, as well as figurative and totemic ceramics that recall common artifacts: [ Ссылка ]
