Diana Puntar’s solo show at Small A Projects
Tonight, Laurel Gitlen’s Small A Projects (1430 SE Third) opens “AN HOUR ON THE SUN,” a solo exhibition of new work by Diana Puntar. Brooklyn-based Puntar has done furniture-like sculptures in synthetic materials that mimic the real (faux-woodgrain laminates, say). The best of these are like a weird dream of IKEA-esque ultilitarianism with a witty subversion of functionality. Witness:
The sculptures we’ll be seeing at Small A Projects (top) are constructed from laminates, and mirrors, plus (and this could get interesting because Gitlen’s scheduled “nightviewing” hours during which you can view the exhibition in the dark) fluorescent and phosphorescent pigments. There’s a reception tonight from 6-9 PM.
