Ido Govrin "Not Quite the Highest Point" Exhibition
Ido Govrin - Not Quite the Highest Point
October 26– November 12, 2017
Opening Reception: Thursday October 26> 5-7pm
Not Quite the Highest Point continues Govrin's interdisciplinary artistic research in the mediums of sound, installation, printmaking and text. This current exhibition, which signals a direction towards the culmination of four years of research, corresponds with Giorgio Agamben's research methodology (known as “Philosophical Archeology”) where at its core we find an attempt to render inoperative the foundation of Western metaphysics. Not Quite the Highest Point consists of multiple sets of objects, ephemera, sounds, leftovers, miniatures, books and perishable instances which form various paradigmatic historical constellations or thought-spaces, rendered and conceived by archeological art-making. Stretched between art and philosophy, sound and meaning, part and whole, content and form, Not Quite the Highest Point constitutes a force field of bipolar tensions which is measured not by extensive and scaleable magnitudes but by vectorial intensities. Measured not by extensive and scaleable magnitudes but by vectorial intensities.
