Andrew Logan Projects presents Eutopos, new textiles and sculpture by Amy Helfand. Eutopos transcends the boundary between the functional and the fine, between structure and wildness — an inhabited world of colorful, richly-patterned, hand-knotted rugs and tapestries, along with ceramic and bronze sculpture.
Andrew Logan Projects presents Eutopos, new textiles and sculpture by Amy Helfand. Hand-knotted rugs and tapestries, along with her ceramic and cast bronze sculpture and a score from collaborator Jefferson Hamer, make up a richly colored world rooted in landscape, place-making, and abstraction.
In Eutopos (from the Greek for “good place”), Helfand’s process finds vivid form. Pattern functions as architecture—a built structure alive with creatures, branched botanical forms and other inhabitants that find their footing in the weave, or break free of it entirely. The sculptural works read form into silhouettes. Ceramic surfaces carry the work's vibrancy in their colorful glazes; bronze objects live their own patinated life.
Eutopos is Helfand's most expansive exhibition in a decade and one that fully reflects the breadth of her work — an affirmation transcending the boundary between the functional and the fine, between structure and wildness.
Opening reception: Friday May 15th, 5–9pm, Red Hook, Brooklyn
