LANDSCAPE
PROTO Gallery is pleased to present a new sculptural installation by Brooklyn-based artist Thomas Lendvai. LANDSCAPE opens on September 15, 2018 and runs through Sunday October 28, 2018, with an opening reception Saturday, September 15 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. LANDSCAPE consists of four large-scale rectilinear sculptures, created for and installed in response to the dimensions of the gallery space. Resting on on each other horizontally and placed in a linear arrangement, the four forms re-delineate the space, yet the installation is human-scale, allowing unobstructed views from all perspectives. PROTO will feature a new series of small sculptures to accompany the installation.
Projected video work by artist Kelsey Brod will be presented in conjunction with LANDSCAPE. Brod, a recent MFA graduate from SUNY Purchase, is a new and mixed media artist exploring themes of modernism, feminism, and digital culture.
